Drascombe Scaffie Mon Nèg

My Old Gaffers Association boat registration plaque arrived this morning. Now to find an auspicious location to mount it.

What books do you carry aboard your boat. This is my medical and edible book collection. Pick your books for the area you’ll be cruising. There isn’t much room on a Drascombe Scaffie but my little stack stores easily. And having the knowledge, skills and tools needed to feed and care for myself, along my journeys, is priceless.

Lunch at a small café on Main Street in Lake Arthur, Louisiana USA. Church bells ringing in the lunch time with noon bells. Faint music playing a comfortable tune, a good meal ordered and a fresh copy of DAN. What else can you wish for? Enjoy your day. Be sure to join the Drascombe Association as soon as you can.

More Scaffie Information. Ours should soon be out on the water.

Here are two Scaffies like ours. The Devon Scaffies are available from Honnor Marine for £12,995 ($17,869) and includes foam buoyancy, rudder, tiller, sail, Sitka spruce spars, and bronze rowlock sockets

I love old nautical charts of our AO.

My biggest bucket list trip is to start at the Mexico/Texas border and sail along the coast to Key West, Florida. And then maybe beyond. We will be doing the 2022 Texas 200, Mississippi 110, Avery Island 200, Florida 120 and whatever organized events along the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico.

We hope you’ll join one of these fine associations and support our small open sailboat community. We registered our Scaffie "Mon Nèg with the OGA. It's number is OGA #3600
