I imagine you will get a GRP one. Lugworm was plywood.

After Drascombe stopped, a couple bought the moulds (they were looking to buy one, then found production had ceased), but couldn't use the name, so it became the Devon Lugger. So your search should include them.

I would get it from Lodestone direct. I like what Dick is doing.
