Lulu The Lugger Is Up For Sale - Who Will Buy Her!?

Lulu is for sale. It is with regret that I have to let her go but I am now focussing on my new boat, Welkin and can't keep both. I have the description from the Apollo Duck Ad here detailing all the parts and work done in full. Please contact me if you want to know more: ------- "Lulu" The Lugger (number: 1277) is for sale after 4 years sailing her myself. During this time she's proven to be a faithful teacher who's been an awsome boat both on lakes and the sea. Super stable, lots of fun and ideal for any water. She can be rigged up in less than 30 minutes. I'm selling her as i'm trading up for something larger right now. She's in fantastic condition and is a chance to own a ready to go Drascombe Lugger that's been well looked after. The woodwork is oiled, she's been recently polished and all her spars are freshly sanded and re-varnished and epoxied where relevant. She's a very clean boat, ready to sail with all new parts, nothing to be done. Main features: Brand new mitre-cut sails from R&J Sails (June 2024) with barely half a seasons sailing in them.
