1939, The Philadelphia Story written by Philip Barry
My, she was yar...It means, uh...easy to handle, quick to the helm, fast, right. Everything a boat should be, until she develops dry rot.

...to make a ship best weighed, or yarest in her going.

Arr, here be a fine vessel: the yarest river-going boat there be.

At Merstone, The line to Sandown branches to the left, descends the ½ mile at 1 in 70 of Redway bank, and runs along the valley of the little River Yar (not to be confused with the River Yar in the western part of the island), through low-lying pleasing countryside, covered in spring and summer with wild flowers, to Horringford, 1¾ miles from Merstone.
