- Type
- Yacht builder
- Primary location
- United Kingdom
Honnor Marine builds Original Devon small sailing boats that continue the Drascombe tradition, including the Scaffie, Dabber and Lugger. For LBG these are practical open sailing craft whose launch, rig and maintenance needs differ from performance dinghies and powered dayboats.
Small traditional sailing craft
The maker lists the Scaffie and Dabber alongside larger Original Devon models. The published dimensions and sail plans are model-specific, so select the boat for the crew and intended waters rather than visual resemblance alone.
Launching and sail handling
The builder promotes straightforward rigging, launch and recovery. Check the actual vessel's weight, trailer, centreplate or draft arrangements and sail inventory before deciding whether it suits a home beach or slipway.
Parts and longer ownership
Honnor also supplies servicing, refurbishment, brokerage and genuine parts for Devon and Drascombe boats. Those facilities can be relevant to keeping a small traditional sailing boat in use after its first season.
