'The Rebirth: Lulworth off Portovenere' Original Oil on Canvas rdcy105or

Lulworth, recently restored to her 1926 condition, sailing off Portovenere in northern Italy. Her sea trials were in this region as the waters off Viareggio in Tuscany, where she was restored, are too shallow for her deep keel.

Lulworth is the largest gaff-rigged cutter in the world. She was champion of the British regatta circuit's Big Class in 1925 and 1926.
