The Drascombe Dabber, introduced in 1971 as a smaller, more manageable sibling to the legendary Lugger, has carved out a unique niche as a "big" small boat. Designed by John Watkinson and primarily produced by Honnor Marine, the Dabber is a 15-foot 6-inch open boat that embodies the "shrimper" aesthetic while offering the utility of a modern GRP hull. It was designed specifically for those who found the 18-foot Lugger a bit too much to handle solo on a trailer or in a tight boat park, yet it refuses to compromise on the seaworthiness that defines the Drascombe lineage. Now marketed by the builder as the Devon Dabber, the vessel remains a staple of the "traditional-style" sailing scene, bridging the gap between a rowing skiff and a coastal cruiser.
