“Thank you Tim,

We began the design when Pete invited me to visit him on board “Spirit of Mystery”, the replica 1850 style Cornish lugger he had built and sailed to Australia in the track of the original “Mystery”.
Leadership?
What is Leadership?
There are to many books and videos on this subject, many misleading.
Most of those about Nelson fail despite frequent references to his leadership, to explain why Nelson was a great leader and how his character was moulded.
This painting, one of my ‘Nelson and Trafalgar’ series has never been pubilcly exhibited, a great opportunity for someone.
HMS Racehorse
H M Sloop ‘Racehorse‘ my painting on my page “Nelson’s Arctic Voyage“, https://www.frickers.co.uk/…/the…/hms-racehorse/ has raised some interesting points on the excellent Facebook page ‘The sailing frigates, ship sloops and war brigs 1620-1870’.

Lovely picture with beautiful storm details such as the slackened haulyards for the jib. It’s a brave man standing on the jib boom and bowsprit cap.
