Classic Yacht Brokerage Comments on this Sparkman & Stephens Deb 33
Sparkman & Stephens designed Deb 33, built by Tyler Boat Co. in 1969. Fitted out and finished by Deacons Boatyard Ltd, Southampton.
Originally launched as wooden design, later 50 boats were built in GRP and have seen great success. This particular boat has previously completed and Atlantic circuit in a previous ownership.
Yachting Monthly said of the S&S Deb 33 in 2016 “For those who like to sail hard in all conditions, and often either short-handed or solo, this is a cracking yacht. She looks lovely on the water, her overhangs and sheer give her the classic styling that owners of more mass-produced boats often envy. She’s stiff under sail with a generous ballast ratio, but has the bonus of a centreboard for finer pointing ability to windward, while retaining the benefits of shoal water sailing and creek-crawling. In all, she’s a solid, seaworthy and sensibly laid-out offshore yacht with the ability to make good passage times on all points of sail and take her owners across oceans.”
In the present ownership the boat has been upgraded with a virtually new Beta engine, batteries, rigging and sails.
A fine modern classic yacht, easily handled and ocean capable.
