'St Kitts - Upwind To The Finish' Painting

I got properly hooked on sailing, well racing, after watching the 1983 America's Cup. I always loved the Metre boats and over time was fortunate enough to race on some. I remember my first time out in a modern 6-metre. It was a pretty crazy experience and I was glad to receive unexpected respect from some well-known sailors. I went on to race on a number of others including a classic six, too, with some pretty cool results in various events. This weekend I'm racing on a classic 8-metre which kind of gets me close to a 'full house' or 'straight flush', only the 5.5 metre and modern 8 to go! This is 'St Kitts', a modern 6-metre that was built in the late Eighties. It's quite an early watercolour and in many ways I'm surpirsed it has never sold in spite of having been shown to the current owner... I love the reflections this angle produces on the hull and you get the impression that the crewmember sticking his head up from the cockpit is wet...that's what happens in a Six, you get wet...very wet!
