carefully researched detail and atmospheric quality. Roger Davies'original
oil painting, 'The Big Five' was commissioned by the owner of the world's
largest gaff-rigged superyacht 'Lulworth'. The painting, which depicts
five of the most famous racing yachts from the 1920s' which included
Lulworth, hangs as a centrepiece in Lulworth's sumptuously appointed
saloon.
