[edit] Summary

Oil sketch done in 1967 of the Denys Rayner designed Westerly 22 "Young Tiger" (68) making landfall on Barbados on 5 January 1966 crewed by Simon Baddeley and Susanna Pulford. In the log from which he painted this scene, Simon wrote: "Clouds collected during the night, obscuring the bright moon, and at dawn it was blowing hard with rain everywhere and haze ahead. We stared ahead until our eyes ached. Suddenly a break in the cloud let through a sunbeam which shone on the land about 10 miles off - green and incredibly exciting. Through the morning the weather cleared as we ran fast down the south coast of the island, staring at the little houses and the distant palm trees bent one way by the constant wind."
