YAWL

A yawl is a kind of boat. It looks like a sailboat but it has two masts, one main tall mast and a smaller mast called the mizzen mast. The mainsail is attached to the main mast, and the mizzen sail is attached to the smaller mizzen mast. Yawls also usually have a motor to help them go faster. Yawls are good boats to use when sailing because they're fast and they can also turn quickly.
