@@markbyford123 Oh thats great news. The Lugger is such a lovely boat you know. Lugger, Coaster or Longboat, I think they would all feel the same and are such forgiving boats to sail. Let me know how it goes.
Very nice vid thanks. I am very new to boats and have only spent time on a lugger like this. Is there a reason you have the stopper knot on the main sheet block starboard? Rather than coming back under the bar to the cleat? 14:40ish
Hi chuchu. Many thanks for the question. TbH no reason other than I have no cleats. I think the mk1 lugger had that set up with the mainsheet but the mk2 just uses a stopper knot. Same as my Mirror dinghy. I think every Lugger I have seen has had some kind of tweak or change made to it, so as long as it works, five it a try!
Fine, still very sea worthy. The epropulsion is a bit underpowered on the lake and can plain struggle if the winds are up. On the sea with a 6hp petrol outboard she will go along very nicely.
thats a great how to vid Dave , now i dont have to ask when i get mine
Haha! thats the idea! be sure to ask if you need any help Kevin!
Thanks Dave. Very handy information.
Many thanks. Glad it helped Mark.
Hopefully picking a drascombe up in September...time to retire and sail

What a nice boat! How is it without out the sails?
