OUR REF. † AYB001011
GENERAL
Teal is a very special boat/Drascombe. She was built for her owner with special permission from the Watkinson (Drascombe) family in 2011. Built to a very high standard by Charlie Hussey a marine carpenter with lovely detailing and using the best materials available. She sails beautifully and is remarkably fast! (I’ve raced against her in Old Gaffer Association events!)
She differs from the other Drascombe Peter Boats built by the Elliot Brothers in the early 1980’s by being compliant with the Recreational Craft Directive (Category C for 3 persons), she also has a boom, a foiled plywood centreboard and no outboard well. (Which would flood while beating!). She has always been stored in garage and is still in beautiful condition.
