DRASCOMBE COASTER JUNO - Longest Day Cruise 2023
Beached off the Spathoek, SW Terschelling, some crews went ashore at LW in search of cold refreshments. But after a long and hot summer sail on the ebb tide they unintentionally got caught up in the annual festivities of the famed Oerol festival. Upon return they found their boats afloat at armpit height some hours later, enjoy!

We're back May 2013 when a select group of Coasters, Cruiser Longboat Malmok and Drifter 22 Dulcibella teamed up at Glendale Community Centre to launch from the extended Loch Pooltiel jetty, Isle of Skye. Enjoy the movie filmed and edited by Cptn. Chris Vandenbroek documenting this superb Drascombe sailing area: the remote waters of the Outer Hebrides.

DRASCOMBE CRUISER GIG DAAN seems quite a wet boat designed to soak her crew preferably before lunch. Only the helmsman sometimes manages to escape her wet treatment. 'Drascombe Gig - For an Exhilarating Sail' as the brochures read trying to winch you into purchasing one of these fine craft. Not a dull moment aboard!!

DRASCOMBE CRUISER GIG DAAN just rounded the lighthouse Het Paard van Marken heading for Pampus Haven. Close hauled always caters for something completely different, especially on a Gig rigged to perform in light airs. Mizzen furled, second reef in main and full genoa, just enough to keep all aboard happy and wet!

DRASCOMBE CRUISER GIG DAAN on a BFT 5 broad reach from one of the favorite LUP's Hoeckelingsdam (a.k.a. Zalmenstrand), NE of Marken to the lighthouse Het Paard van Marken. Rounding the point mostly caters for an interesting sudden increase of wind and waves (check out the next clip)!

Since we acquired our Drascombe Cruiser Gig GIG we spent over 200 hours preparing her for her first salt water cruise. Single handed sailing a Gig requires flawless operation. Designed for a crew of at least eight able bodied youngsters you're always seconds too late if she's not in A1 condition!

Join in to enjoy a small contingent of Dutch Drascombe sailors exploring the Orkney Islands. Crossing IJmuiden ~ Newcastle by DFDS ferry was the easy part, driving up the A9 north to launch at Thurso instead of using the cramped Scrabster slipway is something else.

    • @michelmaartens4940
      @michelmaartens4940 Рік тому

      Hi Kevin! So much depending on the year she has been build, use of the boat (trailer-sailed or afloat, kept on drying mooring or in a fresh water marina, kept in a well ventilated shaded barn or 24/7 afloat in full sunlight et cetera). And of course, what kind of captain has been taking care of her? A Coaster is a completely different boat and behaves much more like an open boat where the vintage Drifter is a stable and forgiving seagoing vessel to venture offshore. Recap: the Coaster has over four decades proven to be the perfect camping boat which can be trailer sailed single handed all over the place. Especially the pottering around, rowing, sculling, drying out and exploring the shallows steering with a sweep over the stern is what appeals to me. Drying out where no crowd, but just pure nature ever gets, another briljant Watkinson design!

      Das kann ich mich vorstellen Tom! Den Longboat segelt merkbar besser dann den Coaster: leichter, mehr Quadratmeter Segel, keine Kajüte und zehn Zentimeter mehr Schwert. Mein Bruder Antoine segelte in sein NAVIS Longboat Kreisen um mein Coaster Yraida, aber ich hatte das schönste Aussicht und in schreckliches Wetter schnelle Schutz Möglichkeit hinter Yraida's Sprühhaube!
