Keel Band External Rudder Guide Plate

It is well documented throughout the Drascombe fraternity that there is a common issue with leaks and poor rudder stock location in the existing guide plates. This location is between the face of the hull gel coat and the back of the Iroko keel band. In effect sandwiched between them both and hidden; to make matters worst they were screwed into the glass fibre hull with 4 screws. It doesn’t take much lowering and lifting of the rudder assembly to weaken these screw placements with the consequence of water ingress into the stern Lazarette.

The original MK1 hulls had these external guide plates, but they then reverted to the square bronze guide plates. At JLJ I have commissioned these guide plates to be made out of stainless steel, A4 not polished 316. They are 5 mm thick and on our keel bands we machine then down 3 mm below the surface of the keel band. At this aft position it is not an area of the keel that is subject to great wear from grounding.

You will note that this plate in the photograph is machined with a 20 mm wide slot to take the so called ‘flip-up rudder blade’, although I have never understood this flip up concept!

This external rudder plate can be supplied for your own fitting

Lazarette Hatch

The original hatch front panel to the Lazerette on the Mk 2 models was a fibreglass piece often referred to as a ‘Tea tray’. Not a special fitting in its design or manufacture. There was an odd latch / locking bar fitted and fingers of glass fibre on the bottom edge to locate in on the Lazerette face. Katerina did not come with an existing hatch, and if it had it would have been disposed of it in preference to the ones designed and manufactured by Dragon Design.

It has a rebate section rail bonded to the inside lower edge of the hatch, this neatly locates on the upstand edge of the face of the Lazerette. To secure it we fit a very clean and neat turnbuckle attachment. We machine these hatch covers out of 6 mm MR MDF. It’s lightweight and moisture resistant, with 2 spray coats of a primer/filler and ready for the customer to apply their own colour finish.

The hatch cover in a spray primer finish, comes complete with the turnbuckle set and small machine screws ready to pop into place
Cost £54.00

Boarding / Swimming Ladder

No Lugger is complete without one of our specially designed and made ladders. The design and manufacture has been proven over the past 10 years on our charter fleet
dragondrascombe.com. Totally bomb proof!

It is made in Iroko with a loose movement so there is no stress on joints. The Gunwale rail hooks and knees are in aluminium with marine grade machine screws and fittings. It even has neoprene buffer strips to protect the paint and gel coat.
£165.00

Centre Plate Side Facings & Top Casing Board

A pair of side facings in Iroko for the centre board casing for all Luggers, complete with brass screws for fitting.

For the MK1 the 2 side facings in Iroko come with both fore and aft capping sections so it completely encases the centre plate ribs. It is necessary to add a new top board since it has to be wider to accommodate the addition of the 2 side facings.
MK1 kit £207
MK2&3 kit £190
