Christmas gifts for sailors.

Six pictures of the water

The collection is small: six original AI-created marine artworks, three with sails and three with engines. None depicts a particular vessel or a named harbour, so none of them can be the wrong boat.

• At Anchor. A white yacht at rest on celadon water, in an imagined British coastal setting.
• Under Sail. Two classic yachts beneath tall ivory sails, in blue-grey, forest green and warm ochre.
• Room to Sail. A small ivory dinghy and an ochre buoy on a broad field of sage-green water, in a restrained gouache style.

For a sailor who shares the pontoon with motorboats: Homeward Wake is a cream launch and a long white wake on deep green water, The Quiet Berth a blue and ivory cabin cruiser beside a timber pontoon, and Slack Water an ochre and ivory launch resting at a buoy. Sailing prints and motorboat prints each hold one set of three.

Their own boat, from a photograph

A picture of the boat they sail says more than a painting of someone else's. Print the photograph as it is when the hull, rig and sail numbers must stay exactly as recorded. Try an AI portrait for a watercolour, marine oil or colour-study treatment, then check the hull, rigging and fittings against the photo before choosing, because AI can change small details. Ask a crew member for the original file, and use one you have permission to reproduce. Personal boat prints compares the two routes.

Formats

The six paintings come as posters from A4 to 70x100 cm, framed posters at A3 or A2 in black or natural wood, canvas from 30x40 to 60x80 cm, framed canvas from 30x40 to 50x70 cm in black, dark wood or natural wood, metal from 30x40 to 50x70 cm and wood at 30x40 or 40x50 cm. Each one also comes as an 11oz mug or a 500ml bottle. Your own photograph or AI portrait can be bought as a digital download too. The size and frame guide helps with the wall.

Before Christmas

Each piece is made once the order is in. Production takes 2 to 4 working days and delivery another 2 to 5, so allow up to 9 working days, not counting weekends or bank holidays. Order on a Monday and it may not arrive until the Friday of the following week. An AI portrait adds the time you spend choosing a preview.

Delivery is included in the price, to UK addresses only. Delivery and returns has the full terms, and boat gifts covers birthdays, retirements and first boats.
