The Drascombe Drifter 22 represents a sophisticated evolution within the Drascombe lineage, bridging the gap between the traditional open luggers and more capable coastal cruisers. Commissioned by Stewart Brown of Churchouse Boats and designed by naval architect Paul Fisher, the Drifter 22 was introduced in 2007 to satisfy a growing demand for a "modern classic" that offered genuine interior accommodations without sacrificing the beachable, trailersailer versatility for which the brand is famous. Unlike the original 1970s Drifter, which utilized a different hull form, the Drifter 22 is a groundup design that maintains the hallmark clinkerstyle GRP hull and yawl rig while incorporating contemporary stability standards and manufacturing techniques. It serves as the flagship of the current range, positioned above the Longboat and the Coaster in terms of volume and coastal capability.
