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.

Trailers

Whether it is to explore new places, move your boat for maintenance or simply keep her on the drive way at home, the ability to trail your Drascombe with confidence is paramount.

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.
