Drascombe Lugger 'Scillabub'
In 2018, the club was very generously donated a Drascombe Lugger called Scillabub. Various members including Steve Goodchild, Stanley Brown and Roger Stobbart worked very hard restoring her to make her ready for use by club members. Scillabub includes an electric outboard, see electric motor instructions.
Induction: An induction is no longer required. Please read read the Scillabub guide and the detailed outboard instructions before using Scillabub. If in doubt ask at a Sunday Sailing and boating event.
Booking: Use of Scillabub is included in your £40 annual boat use fee, as with other boats you need to book in advance.

Devon Yawl 'Dibber'
Dibber is a Devon Yawl. She is a safe and dependable day-sailer with a good turn of speed and ability to point close to the wind. Dibber has a heavy lead retractable centre plate which ensures she is stable in most conditions you will meet in the river. Dibber includes an electric outboard, see electric motor instructions.
Induction: An induction is no longer required. Please read read the Dibber guide and the detailed outboard instructions before using Dibber. If in doubt ask at a Sunday Sailing and boating event.
