The smallest of the split-rig Drascombes, the Dabber has all the energy
and quality of finish of her larger sisters. A compact 4.72m (15ft 6ins) LOA, the Dabber
carries a useful 118sq. ft. of sail with the help of a bowsprit and bumpkin. Both of these
can be removed for transport and storage.
When the wind drops, a 2 or 4hp. engine will drive your Dabber without
difficulty, or you can row from either or both of the two positions.
The Dabber is a surprisingly roomy family craft and has plenty of storage
space. The foam buoyancy, a feature of all Drascombes, ensures that your Dabber cannot
sink.
The Dabber can be covered and left on a mooring or hitched up behind a
car; with a Drascombe, flexability is the key. |
