More about the Drascombe Lugger boat
The Drascombe Lugger is the best-known boat in the Drascombe range—a rugged, seaworthy open dayboat inspired by traditional working craft. First introduced in the 1960s, its yawl rig, shallow draught and generous capacity have made it a favourite for coastal cruising, inland waterways and extended adventures.
With thousands built and a global following, the Lugger remains one of the most enduring and versatile small boats ever produced.
Key Specifications
- LOA: 5.72 m (18 ft 9 in)
- Beam: 1.88 m (6 ft 2 in)
- Draft: ~0.3 m (plate up), ~1.1 m (plate down)
- Rig: Lug yawl (mainsail, jib and mizzen)

Performance & Handling
The Lugger is designed for stability, safety and ease of handling rather than outright speed. Its balanced yawl rig allows flexible sail configurations, while the shallow draught and centreplate make it ideal for beaching and exploring creeks, estuaries and coastal waters.
