Skrowl 900 (Verl 900)
Description
The Skrowl 900 (Verl 900) by Robert Clark stands as an exemplary representation of British coastal cruising yacht design from the late 1970s, combining proven seaworthiness with practical functionality in a well-proportioned 30-foot package. Built by Verlvale Ltd. from 1976-1984 with 160 boats produced, this masthead sloop delivers reliable performance through its 7,616-pound displacement, 45% ballast ratio, and conservative 397 square foot sail plan that prioritizes safety and comfort over maximum speed. While the limited fuel and water capacity restricts extended range, the design excels as a coastal cruiser offering excellent stability, predictable handling, and the solid construction quality that made British yachts legendary among serious sailors seeking traditional sailing experiences with modern fiberglass durability and Robert Clark's time-tested design principles.
