The Yare and Bure One design, YBOD, or 'White Boat', is a One Design, gunter-rigged, 22-foot keelboat designed for sailing on the Norfolk Broads.
All YBODs are named after a caterpillar or moth, as named in the 1945 book "Checklist of the British Lepidopteria with the English name of each of the 2299 Species".
History
The YBOD was designed in 1908 by Ernest Woods for a competition by Yare and Bure Sailing Club, who wanted to establish a One Design class. The aim was to remove all differences between boats other than the skill of the helm, to limit costly development and arguments over handicaps.
Ernest Woods built 69 boats, and on his death his nephew Herbert Woods became the class builder. Herbert built 24 further boats, until the price of building in wood became prohibitive.
A mould was taken of an Ernest-built boat to allow GRP hulls to be built, as all YBODs have been since no.94.
Racing
YBODs are raced competitively across the Norfolk Broads, with fleets found at NBYC, NPC, HSC,
The biggest - and loudest - fleet is found at NBYC, where the pinnacle of the season is the Mixed One Design race at the end of Wroxham Week, when YBODs race alongside BODs for the Diamond Jubilee Gold Challenge Cup.
For handicap racing against other classes of boat, the YBOD has a Portsmouth Yardstick of 1117.
Cruising
The YBOD is also often sailed for pleasure, holding up to six people comfortably in the spacious cockpit.
