QUOTES

“ Michael Frith's wonderfully fluid paintings... capture the evanescent relationship between wind, sail and sea, and equally the delicate dance of a perfectly-formed hull afloat and at rest. ”

Classic Boat magazine

“ This is a handmade book about handmade boats, full of handcrafted images - especially poignant in this hurry-hurry, electronic, throwaway age. It is not a book about looking backwards to bygone days; this is a book for the now. ”

Fred Barter, Cruising magazine

“ Perhaps the definition of a classic is a yacht reproduced by an artist whose eye is simply drawn to her. Michael Frith is an artist who can transfer the very soul of a classic yacht to paper in the form of superb watercolours. The result is this extraordinary limited edition book in which Frith's talent comes to the fore, displaying his technique and passion in image after mesmerising image. ”

David Glenn, Yachting World

“ Those of us who love classic boats should be thrilled that in 2001, at the Jubilee Regatta in Cowes, Michael Frith fell in love with boats, and judging by the size and scope of this superb book, he fell in a big way. Over 40 of his paintings, reproduced on high quality art paper form the basis of this pictorial paean to the great age of sail in a format has been chosen to make the most of Frith's work. ”
