Wooden Drascombe

Name: 'Otter'

Type: Lugger

Builder: Ray Jones

Owner: Les Schuldt

Quotes from Les Schuldt:-

"She was built in 1990 in Sidney, BC, Canada. She was built by Ray Jones (now of Ireland) for his own use. She now resides in San Ramon, Ca. (SF Bay) and sails the Bay and delta."

"I can tell you she was built to very high standard. She was built for Ray's own use and he owned her for all but one year of her life. All teak structural components. 1 1/4" Teak floorboards, teak caprail and cockpit "eyebrow", all like-new. Very light Sitka Spruce spars, straight as the day they were built. I've replaced all the galvanized components ie: headstay eye, shrouds, bumkin hardware, with bronze and will be replacing all the original standing rig with new stainless wire. Her sails (white, sadly) appear to be new, including 100% jib and 125% genoa. Good galvanizing on the blades, including the new-style flip-up rudder."
