Wooden Lugger in Western Australia

I've been the proud owner of a Drascombe Lugger for around 6 years now and live in Hillarys, Western Australia about 10 kms north of Perth.
She was built from plans, I assume sent over from UK, by Murray Sebbes who owned her for around 4 years prior to selling her to me.
My son and I have had many special hours sailing on the Indian Ocean and the Swan River.

I am the vice president and historian for the Old Gaffers Association of Western Australia where we have many other styles of older boats. My Lugger with it's tanned sails and varnished brightwork fits in very well at our regattas.

Thought I'd send a few pics for you. They are all on the Indian Ocean out from Hillarys Boat Harbour, Western Australia.

Regards,
