The usual comparatives are the Drascombes, but if you like the traditional look I think I would look at the Character Boats first. I've seen several in Poole harbour and I really like them. If you want a Drascombe, I still rate the Dabber as the best, but it is small. I have never liked the larger Drascombes much because of their rudder design. Sticking a rudder blade through the bottom of a shoal draft boat is just a bad idea. It offers no advantages that I can see and endless problems. Most of the other 20ft-ish cabin boats tend to be heavy, which makes them more of a challenge as trailer sailers.Julianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02005000699288099789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8606299215272751858.post-4962384222523438062010-05-08T21:04:02.399+01:002010-05-08T21:04:02.399+01:00Hi

I'm looking to move over to sailing from Power boating and would love my own "Daisy Grace" however since she is a new design the price of a new one is out of my range(at the moment!). Can you advise me on something I could get second hand that would be in the mould of Daisy and suitable for 2 adults + 1 11 YO. <br />Sorry to ask but your sailing ethic is right up my street and I would value you're advice.<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Andy (andy.yates@eastfieldelectrical.co.uk)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
