The Drascombe Longboat represents a significant evolution in the design philosophy of John Watkinson, serving as the larger, more commodious sibling to the world-renowned Drascombe Lugger. Introduced by Honnor Marine in the late 1960s, the Longboat was designed to meet the needs of families and adventurous sailors who required more space and stability than the 18-foot Lugger could provide, without sacrificing the "sail-and-oar" versatility that defined the brand. Measuring 21 feet 9 inches with a beam of 6 feet 7 inches, the Longboat is a quintessential coastal explorer, constructed primarily of Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) but finished with the traditional teak or iroko trim that gives it a timeless, wooden-boat aesthetic.
