An open boat with lug rig and mizzen, easy to handle and made for long coastal voyages.

The Drascombe Lugger could be sailed, rowed and pulled up a beach. David Pyle sailed one from England to Australia around 1970, and the boat became a classic for adventurous voyages.

Materials: Fibreglass, wood; two-masted lug rig

Manufacture: Built in England.
