Welcome to Drascombe Boats. We take great pride in producing a comprehensive range of traditionally styled day and small cruising boats, built with modern materials, offering practical boat ownership at its very best. With 50 years of building examples of our boats with their wooden spars and tan sails, they can be found in many creeks, harbours and lakes around the country and world wide.

Dabber

POA

The Dabber is the smallest boat in the Drascombe range. At 4.72 m (15’ 6”) in length,it is small enough to fit in the family garage but is still big on performance.

Lugger

POA

Where it all began - The Drascombe Lugger, originally designed by John Watkinson in 1965, the Lugger has become synonymous with the Drascombe name.

Longboat

POA

For those who require more room, the greater length and beam of the Drascombe Longboat provides an even roomier day boat than the timeless Lugger… ideal for exploring the coast, or more energetic sailing

Outboards

A quiet reliable outboard engine is a wonderful addition to your boat. It is not just the convenience of being able to push against the current, or simply to extend your cruiisng range - it add another dinension to the use of your boat. Fishing, picnics and greater accessiblity to creeks and rivers where sailing may not be an option. Even the smallest of the Drascombe range, the Dabber will benefit.

Covers, Tents & Sprayhoods

With a choice of cockpit cover to overall covers, we can talk you through the best option for your Drascombe. Our canvas man has been making our covers for around 40 years, and we have now moved forward with the Weathermax 80 as an option. Along with covers and overalls, we can supply tents to suit those who would like more of an adventure, along with cushions and in-fills to ensure you are comfortable when sleeping aboard.

Dabber Accessories

From the drop plate rudder to give extra steering on the Dabber, to a curved laminated tiller to clear your engine, these along with the Roller conversion kit, are all available to bring your Dabber up to the latest spec. Some have added a tabernacle to make raising and lowering your mast easier, these are just some of the options available.
