Art of Sailing

Maritime Heritage Art Contemporary art with a traditional theme.

When I was looking at this boat, a chap came up to me to ask if she was mine. I was a bit surprised that he didn’t share my enthusiasm for the shape of her hull and lovely solid build. She is lying on the foreshore of the river Percuil in Cornwall. She is an abandoned yacht - and ‘...wants a bit of work doing to her, mind’...as yacht brokers are fond of saying. The reason my inquisitor wasn’t enthusiastic was that he had just formed a ‘foreshore committee’ and was hoping to get me to move her. She is there yet...if you’d like to wander along and admire her - though I think the committee has all gone now.
