Drascombe is a generic term for any boat built to a design by John Watkinson, UK.

There are many versions of these small, mostly open designs built in lapstrake plywood and GRP.
I've seen a few, drascombes, sailing on the coast of New England. This blue drascombe may be a lugger yawl, the first of the series of designs.
Pretty boat. The man sitting comfortably in the bow,...is he thinking, 'why is your boat so big?'
Several years ago, a drascombe went by us in Perry Creek. Two men waved.
A small outboard pushed it up the creek beyond where 'cruising' sailboats dare to go.
The drascombe anchored in a teacup of swirling water at low tide.
The two men raised a full boom tent and may have collected a mussel dinner, simply reaching over the gunwales.
Are the dogs thinking, 'why is our boat so big?'.
