Lloyd's Register of Yachts
What it aims to do
Lloyd`s Register of Yachts lists many of the world`s
larger cruising and racing yachts. Inclusion was voluntary for
owners, but nevertheless it is a very useful source of details of
larger pleasure craft. It was published annually from 1878 until
discontinued in 1980. Lloyd`s Register of Yachts has similar aims
to Lloyd`s Register of Ships - giving details of
construction, dimensions and ownership of most pleasure craft over
a certain size, plus survey and other details of classed yachts. A
companion volume, Lloyd`s Register of American
Yachts, provided similar detail for US and Canadian yachts
from 1903 to 1977. Subscribers could have the particulars of their yachts published
in Lloyd`s Register of Yachts no matter what its
size. Efforts were also made to include all sailing yachts with a
sail area of at least 350 square feet and motor yachts of 27 feet
and over.
