The Deb 33 represents a pivotal moment in the history of Deacons Boat Yard, marking their transition from traditional wooden craft to highperformance fiberglass construction. Commissioned in 1967 and designed by the legendary New York naval architecture firm Sparkman & Stephens as Design 1873, the Deb 33 was conceived as a versatile, shallowdraft cruiserracer. The hulls were molded by the esteemed Tyler Boat Co. in Tonbridge—renowned for their robust layup schedules—and then transported to the Hamble River for finishing by Deacons' shipwrights. Approximately 50 units were produced, solidifying Deacons' reputation for blending American design pedigree with British craftsmanship. This model is often recognized by its distinctive "S&S" lines, characterized by a graceful sheer, a balanced overhang at the bow, and a purposeful, seaworthy stance.
