Thanks for the link Bill. Some super shots in there. Too bad about the weather but it looked warm enough.

Don't see too many Drascomes in the U.S.! When I lived in Britain, I used to go camping at a village on the Pembrokeshire coast (Wales). There were a fair amount of them there: Longboats (21' 9"), Luggers (about 18'-the original model) and some Dabbers (about 16'). Some years ago, Webb Chiles tried to sail a Lugger around the world from San Diego. He made it as far as Saudi Arabia, where he was arrested. Now THAT'S open-boat cruising!
