Driftwood Sailboat – Scarborough Bay

This charming driftwood sailboat features a sail made from an authentic re-purposed nautical chart.

Cleverly handmade by Rachel White, this particular sailboat has a carved driftwood body bearing traces of blue paint sitting on a driftwood base and uses a map featuring the waters around Scarborough Bay and Filey Bay off the North Yorkshire coast.

The map would have been originally used onboard for navigation on voyages around the British Isles. You can almost hear the whoosh and flapping of sails and the tinkling sound of spinnakers on mast.

Rachel is a driftwood and strandline artist living in Weymouth with her husband, a retired seaman, just a mile from the sea.

Made in her workshop studio, she sources her materials from local beaches and bays along the Jurassic Coast.

Her art work is regularly exhibited in galleries around the southwest and recently one of her amazing pieces was chosen to decorate the kitchen set of ‘Ainsley’s Good Mood Food' on TV.

Designed for indoor display only.
