NAVIGATE
Wren Gallery, London
Three years ago,
photographer Paul
Thompson embarked
on a journey around
Britain’s coast to
photograph from land
the many navigational
marks that stand as
sentinels against a
seemingly endless sea.
The result is intriguingly
transfi gurative. This
port marker, for
instance, takes on
the appearance of
a standard lamp in
this context.

Abbot, Devon (25). boatjumbleassociation.co.uk.
JUNE 1989 CB14
The biggest story in our June 1989 issue was
a double feature on the Salcombe Yawls, the
racing dayboats of Devon whose origins go back
two centuries to the local fi shing boats on this
part of the Devon coast. It’s still a popular class
today. Elsewhere in the magazine, we looked at
the Ness Yoal, a broad, Scottish fi shing dayboat
with a similarly long history, the Seagull
outboard motor and a Coventry Climax-powered
Albatross speedboat. John Leather, then our
technical editor, explained how to take the lines
off a boat. Towards the back of the magazine,
we had stories on the stunning Australian steam
yacht Ena, which looks just as good today, and a
review of the classic GRP Rustler 36, which took
all three podium spots in the recent Golden Globe.
