Drascombe Projects - see list
below
Much pleasure
can be had by personalising and adding improvements to your own requirements. Over
many years I have learnt much from other Drascombe owners who have given me
inspiration to improve my own boats. Some stuff will be of interest to a much
wider range of boat owners not just Drascombers. I hope that you in turn will
be inspired to do what is possible for you and to use the materials you have or
can get and the skills that you have or can learn in order to make one or more
improvements to your boat. Good luck and Happy Drascombing.
Notes
re Appuski Too.
After
buying the Drifter 22, I used the first Solent Drascombe rally of the season as
a shakedown cruise. This brought to light many issues not the least of which
were a leak and the fact that I struggled with the standard yard arrangement.
With little time available to deal with these issues I made matters worse with
breakages at the slipway caused by my clumsy floundering with the unfamiliar
rig. I am most grateful to Stewart Brown
and to Simon and Sharon at Churchouse Boats for advice and for promptly getting
me the bits I needed to get the boat ready in time for the tow to
So
little done, so much to do . . . (Cecil
Rhodes? - apparently not)
