The Drascombe Coaster, designed by John Watkinson and primarily built by Honnor Marine, represents the "pocket cruiser" evolution of the legendary Drascombe Lugger. Introduced in 1979, the Coaster was conceived to provide the same seaworthiness and shallow-draft versatility as its open-boat siblings but with the crucial addition of a small, enclosed cabin. Measuring 21 feet in length overall (including the bowsprit and bumpkin) on a hull of approximately 18 feet 4 inches, it bridges the gap between a traditional dayboat and a coastal cruiser. This model was a direct response to owners who loved the Lugger’s handling but desired protection from the elements for overnight coastal "raiding." Under the stewardship of Honnor Marine, and later Honnor Marine Classics, the Coaster has remained a staple of the traditional sailing scene, prized for its ability to be trailed behind a family car and launched in ankle-deep water.
