Re: Duet - Edwardian Yawl ...

Duet used to be (may still be) owned by the Courtauld family of fibres fame and I first came across her in the 1962 Tall Ships Race because she was on loan to Ocean Youth Club and skippered then by the Reverend Chris Courtauld. I was a spotty wannabee in the 1962 Tall Ships on Theodora, another OYC boat which was a Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter ownd by a Chris Ellis and again on loan to OYC rather than owned by them. Duet was in Camaret a few years back and still with Courtaulds and I've seen her in the Solent too since. She is a very pretty boat but was known for being a wet boat at sea, going through (some said under) waves rather than over them.
