The distinctive feature of Lucky is its cat yawl rig. The inspiration for this design comes from the canoe yawls that were so popular at the beginning of the twentieth century. Unlike the canoe yawls, Lucky is very stable and forgiving, due to its modest size rig and generous beam. The split rig makes for easy sail handling and the ability to self steer to windward. Rather than fixed seats there is generous sprawling space for 2-3 people. Many folks find this to be the most comfortable way to sail. Flotation cushions make ideal “seats” for the Lucky. Bronze oarlock sockets are standard. We have to say, with all due modesty, that this makes one very elegant little rowing boat! Whether under sail or oars, the fine lines of the Lucky allow it to glide through the water with very little effort. The sweeping sheer line may add to the good looks of this little craft, but importantly it also makes for a dry and comfortable ride when the going gets rough. This little boat is comfortable and handy either in a 20 knot breeze, or ghosting along at sunset. Row or sail, she’s nimble, easy to maneuver solo, and will surely charm. This boat is so easy to get into and out of the water handle alone.
