Classic Boat – July 2019

Objects of desire

WOODEN BATHTUBS

After a tiring spell at sea, how fabulous to soak in a

wooden bathtub handcrafted from exotic sustainable

hardwood? NK Woodworking of Seattle offers you

fine art furniture for your bathroom, and will ship

anywhere. The sculptural pieces are stabilised,

waterproof and smooth. They’re not affected by

extreme humidity, dryness, or common liquid

cleaning products and are designed for daily use.

Each bath is also treated to a specialised product

with unmatched durability and longevity, the maker

assures us. The designer is Nathie Katzoff, a former

wooden boatbuilder. £POA

TRIDENT

WATCH

All Trident watches are

designed to excel in

challenging conditions.

Yet the C60 Trident

Elite 1000 from

Christopher Ward sets a

new benchmark for the

company’s dive series.

Made from Grade 2

titanium, this 300-piece

limited edition

chronometer is the first

Trident capable of

descending to depths

of 1,000m. It will look

handsome on the wrist,

too. £1,250

‘THE LEADING LIGHT...’

For decades Trinity Marine has had a cult

following among sailors seeking marine

antiques for the home as well as afloat.

The firm has now started making one-off

pieces to go alongside its range of

salvaged marine lighting, fixtures and

fittings. Above is a huge Buoy Beacon by

AGA, c1920s. Two are available. £POA

SWIM SHORTS

Classic boating in the Med requires a certain

insouciant sense of style, and we think these

Arthus swimmers fit the bill for relaxing on board

or beachside. They’re Bluemint’s “signature swim

short”, no less, and tailored for style, comfort and

performance with micro polyester fabric for

four-way stretch, quick drying

and soft feel. Practicality is

taken care of with

drawstring fastening, slip

front pockets and a Velcro

fastened rear flap pocket,

but their best feature is the

terrific range of classy

graphic designs. £95
