106: Fishing has always taken place on the Deben, either for its challenge and interest or as an economic necessity. A variety of different methods have been used from fish traps consisting of posts arranged in a V shape, possibly with nets strung between them (called fish weirs or kiddles), to fishing from boats or from the shore with lines.

136:  ‘Checkoa’ was owned by Kenneth Palmer from 1931-1933 and was his first yacht bought from his good friend Jack Fisk’s uncle when he was just 18. It had a 26’ long wooden boom and there is a wonderful story of the boom being moved from the Palmer family home in Lower Brook St by Kenneth on the front end on his Triumph motorcycle with Jack Fisk (who also lived on Lower Brook St) on a push bike holding the other end, all the way from Ipswich to Waldringfield, about 9 miles.

She broke adrift from her mooring lines and ended up amongst the field’s hedge and trees. [Note: I didn’t fit this in in full]

212: Item Smut is a ‘Deben 4 tonner’ built by Dick Larkman in his spare time, whilst he was apprenticed at Whisstocks Boatyard. In 1952 trade was a little slow, so he was able to use one of their sheds to build the hull and he then moved her outside under a tarpaulin to complete her to a basic standard.

217: The final finisher of the 2013 Fastnet Race was Duet, who crossed the line and arrived in Plymouth, in 6 days, 6 hours, 31 minutes & 27 seconds.
