Wooden Ships Comments on this Peter Brett Dee 25 31’ Dee 25 designed by Peter Brett and built by Allanson & Son, Lancashire in 1960. Peter Brett is best known as the designer of the famous Rival yachts, and he evolved the lines of the Dee 25 into his Rival 31 which was largely the same boat but with a little more volume and built in GRP. He designed the first Dee 25, Fair Rover , for himself. The design was featured in Yachting World magazine in 1951 and she proved very successful in his local Irish Sea races. 10 more Dee 25s followed all built at the same yard in Lancashire with the class named after the River Dee on which they were built. No. 2 Rondinella is a name many people will know, winning the Cowes-Dinard Race in 1959 and the only boat in Class 111 to finish the 1965 Channel Race which was hit by severe weather conditions. She featured in Adlard Coles book Heavy Weather Sailing because of her superb sea keeping qualities. Such was the success of Fair Rover and Rondinella , the yard went on to build another 8 boats to the same design. The design has not excessive draft with a long keel for good stability limited over-hangs and a generous beam for the period. It is said that the drying mud berth mooring near where Brett lived on the Dee Estuary was an influential factor in the design. The interior rigid ply bulkheads with their signature keyhole design are an integral part of the design and contribute to her strength. She stands up well to her rig and is remarkably fast. This yacht has been altered slightly with a cutter rig and a small bowsprit. Her staysail is self tacking on a boom with a roller furling jib making her easy to handle in all weather conditions. She had a major professional refit in 2000 and another between. In the first refit the deck was replaced and the interior refitted. In the latter refit many cracked frames were repaired or replaced, the engine renewed and a new mast fitted. Length on Deck 30’9”Length Overall. Still available at ListedBuy!
