Drascombe Peterboat 5

A stretched version of the Peterboat 4.5m. A nice looking double ended open boat, with ample performance and a good sized rig. The Peterboat 5m has a performance and speed advantage over the Peterboat 4.5m, a bit more onboard room but not a lot of extra weight, very useful when trailer sailing. Only built in wood, not GRP. The Peterboat 5m is a small boat that's ideal for inshore or estuary sailing and the ability to tackle a little more adventurous sailing in the hands of a competent and experienced sailor if the conditions are right. Ideal as a day sailer for trailer sailing with a small family, or single handed sailing. In common with the Scaith and Peterboat 4.5m she has a galvanized pivoting 28lb (13kg) centreplate to add ballast, a stern hung folding rudder and the rig consists of a simple standing lugsail and jib on a stayed mast. There is a well on the port side that allows for a small outboard motor to be kept permanently mounted if desired.
