The Drascombe Longboat

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.

The loose footed gunter sail yawl configuration provides 172 square feet of sail area, and yet she remains easy to rig, with a flexible sail plan for all conditions. The full rig provides and exhilarating sail, whilst the reduced rig of jib and mizzen leaves a large and uncluttered cockpit for up to 9 people to enjoy picnics, fishing or lazing in the sun.

Under jib and mizzen perfect control is maintained even in the stiffest breeze. The traditional hull and lapstrake design adds strength and character

The Longboat is a popular choice for Sailability groups as well as Outdoor Activity Centres, with their large capacity, stability and adaptability for wheelchair users. For more details visit our Sailability page by clicking here​.
