Robert Tucker Debutante.

[Superflid]

I've been asked if I can find a drawing of a Debutante, searches across the length and breadth of the internet have drawn a blank.

Any ideas of how or where to obtain a good quality drawing would be appreciated.

 

[Seanick]

I have an original brochure somewhere, I'll have a look.....

If these links don't satisfy you I have a small drawing I could scan at the weekend - let me know.

Ken, you could try Tucker Designs, run by his son Tony, but I'm sure they will charge - but they are likely to be study plan quality.

This site has good photo's of Sea Dart (Tristan Jone's Debutante) but I couldn't find any line drawings in it, or Tristan's books. You could try the Tristan Jones site, But I haven't checked there yet. I will see if there is anything in my old Yachting Monthly's or Bristows.

Oh B*gger! Can't edit now either, it's too late. Just Google Sea Dart.

Hi Ken
Don't know what sort of drawings you're after but let me know if it's something I can help out with , or just call in and bring a pencil yourself /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Let me know if you do and I'll make sure the barn's unlocked /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Well, I have this "line drawing" /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

and a few of these:

Of course Sea Dart is a modification to the original design

 

[Sixpence]

I've just gone off you /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif ( Joke , honest )
Wife took one look at those pics and now wants me to modify my Debutante like that
Must admit it looks good and must give loads more room inside

 

[Superflid]

Serves you right! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I might turn up with a camers.....

 

[Sixpence]

I'll stick the kettle on /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[DavidFincham]

am I your answer to your prayers or what....... I have line drawings sheet No 2 and No3(A1 size) and the original brochure that came with my Debutante, I am currently making a 1/5.2 scale model of our Deb, might be able to photocopy them for you.

 

[Tommyrot]

Problem was solved a while ago, but many thanks for the offer.
Would like to see a pic of your model though....

 

[DavidFincham]

re Debutante model

hi Tommyrot, only been on the job a couple of weeks, so i'll post some pics shortly, glad you got sorted though,they are a pleasure to sail and looking forward to this season,

 

[Cloona]

there was one for sale on the east coast - just good boats - this one is a mark one - a bit lighter than the mark 2 I believe -

a previous owner trailed her to the med -

Sixpence has a fancy interior - if he will tell you where the pics are

 

[Cloona]

this summer at Itchenor - dusk - good berths and flat deck gives big interior.

A big advantage is the relatively light loads generated by the rig so they are easy to sail - and forgiving - rounds up when over pressed. Can be sailed downwind with both headsails poled out -

Proper yachts with sansom post etc etc puts the miles away if given the chance - and I could go on and on -

if someone else has got one would love to see pictures
