Campion is Tom Dunderdale’s 16 by 6ft3in double-ender, heavy displacement canoe yawl. Read all about it, a short article on why canoe yawls are not all yawl-rigged, and about some of Tom’s other very attractive designs here.
By the way, I gather that Tom has completed the drawings for his 15ft canoe yawl Imp.
