About the DRASCOMBE COASTER
The Coaster is the cabin version of the Drascombe Longboat. Over 300 have been built.
The Drascombe Coaster is a classic British daysailer designed by John Watkinson and built by Honnor Marine, with production records indicating a build year of 1979. As a lightweight vessel with a displacement of 1058.0 lb, it represents a specific era of small boat construction, though the total hulls built remains unquantified in available data.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruising and daysailing in sheltered waters, appealing to owners who prioritize ease of handling and trailerability over long-range offshore capability.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 1058.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 6.96, the Coaster is not designed for bluewater cruising but is capable of short coastal passages in favorable conditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other Drascombe models like the Drascombe Lugger and the Drascombe Cockle, which share the same designer, similar hull forms, and role as small, trailerable coastal cruisers.
