Headlines: I have bought a 49 year old Drascombe Longboat Cruiser called Lou-Lou Belle. I doubt there is another LBC like her anywhere, her spec is mind-blowing. For example find me another LBC with a scaled down Hebridean wind vane self steering gear. Our course there is also a practically brand new Raymarine ST1000+ Tiller Pilot with bespoke splash cover.Sounds absolutely fantastic, 49 years old though, is it seaworthy?You should be careful on here of suggesting that anything 49 years old is no longer fit for purpose...True, or even things / people older than 49!
