22' Oughtred Kotik Yawl (2019) - KOTIK

  • Owner’s Description

    This is the yawl version of Iain Oughtred’s Kotik design, which is his Wee Seal Mark II design, a double-ended trailer-sailer, stretched by 3 ft., and in the same style as his Grey Seal, but lighter. Kotik is the Russian word for a seal pup, because it was a Russian, Mikhail Markov, who instigated this version. We used the same name for this boat. She is of glued lapstrake construction with marine plywood and epoxy, macrocarpa, kwila (merbau), oak, recycled kauri and imported Canadian “Oregon” (Douglas fir). She is used for cruising on the lakes and parts of the coast of the South Island of New Zealand. We have been cruising on the Abel Tasman National Park and Pelorus Sound in the north of the island and in Fiordland in the south. Kotik has a separate sleeping cabin and a “saloon”.
    The Kotik can be built as a sloop or a yawl. I have had yawls before and like my mizzen! I have recently converted the mizzen to gunter rig, so now I can set up and take down the mizzen mast by myself.

      Beautiful boat! I love Ian’s designs! I think your choice of the yawl rig is especially beautiful. I really like your “legs” for staying upright when taking the bottom at low tide. I first saw that years ago in L.F. Herreshoff’s “The Complete Cruiser”. Brilliant!

        Thanks, Lawrence. Glad you like the rig. My beaching legs are based on the ones shown by Paul Gartside in a WoodenBoat article some years ago, but I’m away from home at present so I can’t check it. Ian
