EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Paul Felix, we witness the remarkable craftsmanship of Dave Currah as he meticulously constructs a 32 ft long Racing Gig within the confines of his modest 34 ft long workshop in Looe, Cornwall. The image showcases the rich heritage of boat building in the Cornish region and highlights its significance to the local fishing industry. Using planks of Elm wood, Dave pours his heart and soul into each gig, dedicating six months to ensure every detail is perfected. With orders lined up for the next two years, it is evident that his skill and expertise are highly sought after. The photograph captures not only the physical labor involved but also encapsulates a sense of pride and dedication that resonates with generations past. It serves as a testament to both Dave's unwavering commitment to preserving traditional techniques and Cornwall's enduring connection to its maritime roots. Paul Felix masterfully captures this moment in time, allowing us to appreciate not only the beauty of Dave's craft but also providing an insight into an industry deeply intertwined with Cornish culture. Through this image, we are transported into a world where tradition meets innovation – where wooden boats continue to be crafted with love and precision amidst changing times.
