Wooden Drascombe

Name: Serenade

Type: Lugger

Builder: Ian Bott

Year: 1987

Owner: Ben Starr and David Starr

Quote from Ben Starr:-

Ian Bott was a third-generation boat builder in the Gippsland Lakes area of Victoria, Australia (he has since moved elsewhere). I recently bought the boat from its third owner and had it brought up from Adelaide to Brisbane where I live. I haven't had the boat for very long so the attached photo is the best I can do at the moment.

There are also some wooden Drascombes in Australia that were built by Mike Elton. I believe he was licensed to build then in the 90's but unfortunately no longer builds them.
