Around here we only say "Yawl" when referring to a boat similar to a ketch, but with the mizzen mast abaft of the tiller ( or, tillah the way we say it).

( people make fun of our accent, but much of it is closer to European pronunciations, making it easier to speak certain other languages and be understood.)

I couldn't resist baiting you...I'll never forget my Gunnery Sergeant's look (and vocal reaction) when I (quite innocently) observed that he was from WOR-CHESTER, Mass. I learned a painful lesson over the coming days...
