He Turns Catamaran Sails Into Art
Have you ever looked at a sail and thought it could be a work of art?
In this video, I sit down with Chris Picknally from Flying Fish Arts, whose hand-painted designs are transforming ordinary catamaran sails into stunning floating masterpieces. From Greek gods to sea creatures, Chris shares how he got started, the process behind each sail, and the stories behind some of his favourite creations.
Whether you're a sailor, an artist, or simply appreciate great craftsmanship, I think you'll enjoy this conversation. By the end, you might never look at a sail the same way again.
