Rummer Yawl Designed by Kim Holman, built by Whistocks of Woodbridge, Suffolk in 1958. Kim Holman designed this yacht for himself and raced her for several seasons in Class 111 with notable success. The design demonstrates some American influence in her greater beam for a 24’ water-line length than was normal in English yachts at the time with almost the same beam at wl as at deck level and generous freeboard thus giving volume to the cabin. In addition Holman gave her quite a full bilge, kept her draft to a minimum, gave her a ballast ratio in excess of 40% and kept a low aspect to the rig, all quite innovative features in 1958. A very sweet lift to the counter and a rising sheer forward give the hull a most attractive line. Although Kim Holman declared that he designed the yacht to cruise rather than race, she showed her performance in many races winning the Harwich-Ostend Race in her first season. Surprisingly, when compared to the very obviously sleeker and racier Vashti designed by his great competitor, Alan Buchanan, Rummer and Vashti were frequent competitors and usually very closely matched. 8 or 9 yachts were built to the same design but Whistocks workmanship in Rummer makes her stand out from the others. An attractive benefit of this design is the interior volume and feel of space in the cabin and the low aspect, cutter-headed yawl rig makes her very manageable for a light crew.
