YAWLS: The boats used for fishing were open, without a deck, but with a place for a mast and a sail. Decks were fitted, with a small cabin below, when the men went further afield. The large boats were known as "Skaffies' but as gradually the decked and half-decked boats emerged they became known as 'Baldies', 'Fifies' and Zulus'.
