Description
Saint-Malo, a brisk morning in late summer. The wind has picked up overnight, the sky is scrubbed clean, and the harbour is alive with the clink of rigging against masts. A father and his teenage daughter cast off, raise the mainsail and feel the boat heel and leap forward as the breeze fills the canvas. Spray stings their faces. She takes the tiller for the first time, nervous, then grinning, and he realises with a pang that she does not need him to steer any more.
This sailboat box captures that exhilarating feeling. A sailboat glides against an ocean backdrop, painted in vibrant colours and intricate detail that suggest wind, waves and endless horizons. It makes a splendid gift for a yachtsman, a sailing instructor, a family with a boat on the lake, or someone moving to the coast at last. Displayed in a nautical-themed room, a study or a beach-house living room, it brings the open sea indoors.
