Old I know , but if anyone can find a pic of a Debutante 21 under full sail it would be much appreciated

Nah! Your's is supposed to look better than that shed!

 

[Twister_Ken]

Either that's a very small boat, or a very tall outboard.

Yes! Bright yellow paint is optional but I know the boat and she is a standard Debutant. Sailed my fathers 30 years ago and it was agreat little sea boat.

[Sixpence]

Don't suppose you have any pics of her with sails up ?

Tristan Jones sailed the Atlantic, through the Panama Canal, over the Andes and doun the River Plate in one (Sea Dart)

Or so he claimed. Good yarn, whatever the truth of the matter.

Sea Dart had a little bowsprit and a cutter rig. There are photos in his book 'The Incredible Voyage'

I've just looked at the link. Were they really designed for JOG races?I hope you didn't pay anywhere near that for an old ply nineteen footer.

You can have my Vivacity for half that!

Is this any use?

 

[Twister_Ken]

Doesn't look like her bottom needs a scrub. But maybe his needs a good spanking.

 

[Sixpence]

Oh no , not me /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif but that one does look in good condition

 

[Sixpence]

er , sail doesn't look like it's up , to me , how's he done that ? /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

 

[Twister_Ken]

Suspect it broke free from mooring.

 

[Sixpence]

You could be right there , looks to me like the bow lines are flapping in the water , had to put specs on to make it out though

 

[Lakesailor]

Yup. A single chain. The shackle pin came out.
They are careening it over to float on it's bilge to try and get it off the rocks.
The main halyard was towed away by a dory to heel the boat. The guy clinging on is a boatyard man.

A big thumbs-up for using two mooring strops.

 

[Sixpence]

good point , two for me I think too , have actually got two anchors but I don't think they'll get much use

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

They will if you come sailing with us East Coasty types I can assure you.... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

He's got a lot to learn..... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Sixpence]

That sounds ominous /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif looking forward to it too , got the mast up by the way , just not on Miss Ellie yet /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

just had to see what it would look like /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

 

[Slow_boat]

In all seriousness, I sailed a Debutante a long while back and remember it as an excellent singlehander.
