About the DRASCOMBE LUGGER
The Drascombe Lugger is a classic British daysailer designed by John L. Watkinson and built by Honner Marine Ltd. in the UK. With approximately 2000 hulls built starting in 1968, it remains a popular choice for its simplicity and traditional aesthetic.
- Best for:
- This boat is ideal for coastal cruising, daysailing, and novice sailors seeking a manageable, trailerable vessel with a stable, shallow-draft hull.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 600.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 5.11, the Lugger is designed for coastal and estuarine use rather than offshore bluewater cruising.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Drascombe Cockle and Drascombe Wherry, which share the same designer and modular construction philosophy, as well as other small trailerable daysailers like the O'Day 18.
