DUET was built as a gaff yawl, a leisure craft and was owned since 1932 by famous Essex Courtauld family, first of which was explorer Augustine Courtauld.
Used for intelligence and reconnaissance in the Second World War, she then went on to be the founder boat of UK sail training, originally with Ocean Youth Club, now with Cirdan Sailing Trust.
Pictured here in Portsmouth Harbour with sister Cirdan Trust ship Queen Galadriel on the right.
