BUILT TO WIN

Herreshoff Museum Bristol Rhode Island

July 18th 2026

What an incredible night we had at the Herreshoff museum last night telling the incredible story of the partnership of Nat Herreshoff and Charlie Barr. It was such an incredible honour to be showing my work at the very place many of the yachts that so inspire me where built. It was particularly special to have Americas cup legend Halsey Herreshoff the grandson of Capt Nat present at our talk in addition to sailing icon Patsy Kennedy Bolling. It’s a night I’ll never forget. A special thanks to the Herreshoff Museum for making us so welcome, Colin Thomsen for his incredible hard work in making it happen and my co speaker Alasdair Purves the great great grandson of Charlie Barr. I’ll be posting more photos over the coming days @shanecouchmarineartist @thomsenfineart @herreshoff @captcharliebarr
