Remarks

Simple, rugged and seakindly, Drascombes epitomise everything that a traditional sailing dinghy should be! Whilst a little smaller than the more numerous Drascombe Lugger, the Drascombe Dabber, of which over 900 examples have been built since 1971, still carries a full yawl rig and is easily distinguished from her larger sister by her bowsprit and transom-hung rudder.

This Mk 2 example is a great family cruising dinghy in very good condition, and ready to tow and sail! Lying Dumfries and Galloway, south west Scotland.
