Each ‘d’ carries its own story - shaped by wind, water, craftsmanship, and the generations of sailors who have taken the helm. Together, they form a fleet defined by tradition, character, and life under sail.

This is the fleet as we know it today — the Derwents we can identify and locate, whether they are sailing, undergoing restoration, or waiting patiently on the sidelines.

There are others whose stories are less certain. Some were lost, some were heavily modified, and others have simply disappeared from the record. If you know the whereabouts of one of the missing D’s, or have a story, photograph or piece of history to add, we’d love to hear from you.
