Comments

I owned a Deb in the late 60s, moored at Brough Haven in East Yorkshire, on the Humber – cost the princely sum of £300. I learned to sail in her, sometimes on my own and sometimes with a friend, mostly managing to avoid the Humber mud-banks ……
If I remember rightly it was built by Blanks Boatyard, not Banks.
