The boat is very minimalist, just capturing the curved lines of force dictated by the wind and sea. I love the contrast between the bright copper of the sails, the sleek black of the hull, and the dark torn texture of the sea. A work of man, bravely harnessing two wild elements for his own purposes.

The sculpture comes in two sizes: the larger, seen here, could be displayed indoors or as seen here, outside on a plinth; it is 80cm long, 70cm tall, £745.

The smaller, simpler version is an indoor work.
