THORNYCROFT CUTAWAY

A cutaway of a 1952 Thornycroft Standard Cruiser, one of myriad fascinating nautical items for sale through The Motorboat Gallery. In period style, here we see Mrs at work in the galley, in a dress, while her husband and son enjoy life in the cockpit. We can’t help wondering if the scene is less outdated than it looks, but the work itself is wonderful and the boat magnificent. The Motorboat Gallery sells all manner of nautical memorabilia from bronze cleats, to travel posters, to half models. £115

NEW LIFE FOR CHARTS

Hannah Wisdom sews recycled fabrics onto old Admiralty sea charts to create nautical designs which she then translates onto fine art prints, coasters, placemats, greetings cards, postcards, mirrors, notebooks, tea towels, cushions, clocks, bags, hangers and more. She is based in Plymouth, so some of the images relate to the area, while some are more general, such as the depiction of Sir Francis Chichester’s Gipsy Moth IV, approx 15in (37cm) square. The original artwork is available. £5 for a coaster; £69 for the Gipsy Moth print.
