The famous naval architect, F.H. Chapman, in his treaty Architettura Navalis Mercatoria of 1775, sketched and described a small Dutch fishing boat. He finished it off, however, with light and pleasant decorations which transformed it into an original and elegant pleasure boat and gave it the name of A Dutch Herrenyacht. The Leida, too, has its origins in one of the typical Dutch fishing boats of the eighteenth century.

This lightweight pleasure boat (nowadays we would call it a yacht ) can be distinguished from other models of its period by the side stabilisers which are typically Dutch, and the large triangular spanker, without a boom, tied to the long gaff or bar, supported in the middle by the halyard and sloping downwards until the lower end rests almost at the base of the main mast.
