Wooden Ships Comments on this 37′ Peter Brett Dee Class
Peter Brett Dee 27 built by Allanson & Son, Lancashire in 1961. One of 4 yachts built to this design.
The Dee 27 was a development of the smaller Dee 25 which had proven itself in the previous decade with numerous offshore race participations and good results. Both the designs were inspirational in Bretts development of his famous Rival range of yachts. The Dee class was applauded by Adlard Coles in his book Heavy Weather Sailing.
This yacht was commissioned by Mr and Mrs Tomlinson who had previously owned a Dee 25 and wanted to step up to a larger and more capable yacht but with the same sea keeping qualities they had become used to.
Cruised extensively around Ireland, north west England and the west coast fo Scotland up to Orkney, the present owners of 15 years have enjoyed many long cruise and found her to be a superb boat, easily single handed if necessary.
