The Story Behind the Design
Three sailing boats beneath circling gulls, inspired by coastal waters, changing weather and life shaped by the sea
Time on the water is measured differently. Wind, tide and weather determine the pace, while each adjustment of sail and helm becomes part of the journey. This engraving brings together three sailing yachts under full sail, accompanied by seabirds that echo the movement and openness of the coast.
Prepared specifically for engraving on glass, the illustration reduces the boats, sails and sea into a clean, flowing composition that preserves the distinctive forms of each yacht. The overlapping arrangement creates depth and movement without losing clarity, while the surrounding lines of wind and water encourage the eye to travel naturally across the design. It is an interpretation of coastal sailing, where skill, changing conditions and the quiet pleasure of being under sail combine to create memories that remain long after returning to shore.
The design is positioned to maintain proportion and spacing, ensuring the form remains clear at the chosen scale.
