THE MODEL BOAT PEOPLE
This project explores the world of model boat enthusiasts in the seaside resort of Great Yarmouth.
Debby first encountered these passionate hobbyists at the venetian waterways and was captivated by their camaraderie and dedication. They welcomed her into their world of weekly gatherings. Meeting twice a week, the group comprises fifty members, ranging from juniors to seniors, with a long waiting list of aspiring participants. Their shared passion for building model boats and exchanging knowledge is at the heart of their success.
This has been an ongoing project and is set to culminate in a touring exhibition in 2025
