$4,900 + tax for *rowboat or $6,400 + tax **sail package
The Drifter was designed by me. I created “The Drifter” to be a versatile cottage craft to respond to sail or a small outboard. The 100lb hull is reminiscent of the popular Acorn (designed by Iain Oughtred) but has a wider aft section for additional stability. This naturally compromises her rowing ability slightly, but it makes her more stable under a press of sail, as well as enabling her to handle more weight despite her shorter length.
*Rowboat only
Oars are also available at an extra cost.There are various lengths, prices and styles available. Please discuss your requirements with us and we can assist you with your order.
The “Sail Package” includes our standard white sail, mast, rigging, rudder, dagger board and tiller. Everything you need to sail. Other sail colours are available at an extra cost.
The sail package is a lug sail design. One line to set and one line to control the sail. Simple and satisfying. Our sails are made from Dacron and made by the renowned sailmaker, Douglas Fowler of Ithaca, New York. Other rig designs are available and can be discussed.
