what happened to the yawls?
I used to hang out at the Academy when I was young, watching the cadets train on the most beautiful 44' yawls. Are they still in service, or are they all into IODs now?
I still dream about yawls on account of that. Yeah, those 44s were some sweet, sweet ladies...

If these are the same boats Leo, John M and I saw in 2001 or so, they are VERY spartan below. But the line are great.
