<p><u>Drascombe Dabber</u><br />
<br />
The split-rig Dabber offers 118 sq.ft. of sail in the traditional yawl rig of the Drascombe range, offering flexibility of sail plan. Should the wind drop, a small outboard is quite adequate to propel her briskly along, or she can easily be rowed from two positions.<br />
With plenty of stowage space and easy handling the Dabber makes a great little family boat, easily trailed, and quickly rigged.<br />
Her design is derived from traditional clinker built boats, from which the Dabber gains her seaworthiness, easy rowing and excellent shallow water capabilities, for which she is fitted with a handcrafted marine ply drop plate rudder.<br />
The yawl rig has a standing lug mainsail, with a jib set flying with a bowsprit and a mizzen sail mounted on the transom with a bumpkin. Both are easily removed for mooring.<br />

<p>Wilberforce Temperance Hotel, 33-35 Queen Street, Oxford, England. This building was built as two shops (No. 33 on the left and No. 35 on the right), with a fine double-arched entrance in the middle leading to the Wilberforce Temperance Hotel (No. 34) upstairs. The five-storey building was designed by F. W. Aubrey of Reading and built by Kingerlee of Oxford at a cost of £5,000. The date of 1888 is given over the central bay window on the second floor. The arms of the University and the City appear over the central entrance on the ground floor and again on the left and right gables at the top. The Wilberforce Temperance Hotel went out of business in 1954. Today the ground floor is occupied by SpecSavers (audiologists and opticians) and Holland &amp; Barrett (a health food store).</p>
