ARTEMIS is a wooden yacht, built in 1900 by Summers & Payne. She was rigged as a gaff yawl with a very small jigger and a main mast of considerable height. The main characteristic of a yawl is the fact, that the jigger mast is mounted behind the rudder. Like all yawls ARTEMIS has an extreme overhang at the stern with remarkable beautiful design. The bow is almost spoon-shaped. Compared to its length the hull is quite small (length-to-width ratio 1 : 5,7), but features a very long and deep underwater-design. The sheer of the deck is not very distinct like with all Yachts of this type.
