YAWL , the name of a special
driving
adaptation of the Dutch jol, skiff.The English
jolly -boat," a small bluff-bowed, wide-transomed ship's boat, swung at the stern of a vessel for ready use, is probably a corruption of the Danish form of the word jolle. Other authorities take it to be a corruption of a late
century jolywat, a small ship's boat, which is supposed to represent galiote, galliot (see GALLEY). A galliot, however, was never a small boat, but an in-dependent vessel propelled by oars or sails.End of Article: YAWL If you wish, you can link directly to this article.
