Squib v Yoeman

   Squibs had 108 boats at the National Championships 2009! What comes close? This year it was won by a boat built in the late 70's Last year it was won by a boat built in the late 90's. How diverse is that!

	Squib: http://www.noblemarine.co.uk/boats/dinghy/Squib/ Yeoman/Kinsman: http://www.noblemarine.co.uk/boats/dinghy/Yeoman/ http://www.ykboats.co.uk/Ykboats.htm Yeoman/and Kinsman share the same hull and sail plan but differ in keel configuration. AFAIK Yeoman/Kinsman are mostly found around the Norfolk broads area, Squib is more widespread.

	Having seen many Yeomans (or should I say Yeomen) at the Three Rivers Race on the Broads I thought I might like to compare it to a Squid. However I can't find the dimensions on the Squid Association site and I can't find a Yeoman site at all. If there is anybody who knows things like length, width, depth, height, weight and sail area I'd like to know. I know the Squib has a fin keel and I'm assuming the same for the Yeoman since I also know there is a similar boat called a Kinsman which is not.
