Truly beautiful performance! 

The Drascombe story starts in the early 1960s with John Watkinson, a former Royal Navy officer, building a boat for himself and his family. John's requirements were for a daysailer, capable of being trailed, stable (to counterract his wife's tendency to seasickness), and safe; but capable of giving an experienced sailor a lively and exciting sail. The boat that John hand-built in a barn on his farm at Drascombe Barton was inspired by the working boats of England's North-East coast, which themselves can trace an ancestry back to the Vikings.

Finally found the sleeping bag for my Yukon trip. The SummerLite is the lightest sleeping bag made by Western Mountaineering fully-baffled bag that weighs only 530 grams and features a full-length zipper with insulated draft protection! Looks like the best price is at MEC in Vancouver for 310.00
