Perkins who raced her from 1913 right through the war years... In this magnificent photo, we once again see the brute power of the mullet boat type. The skipper has two hands on the tiller to stop Doreen from taking charge as she bolts downhill leaving a massive stern wave. She has just buried her nose a touch and a huge weight of water is being forced out under the bow'. 40 x 55.5 cm, in original oak frame under glass.

- Oak - Native to Europe and England, oak has been used for joinery, furniture and building since the beginning of the medieval civilisation. It is a pale yellow in colour when freshly cut and darkens with age to a mid brown colour.
Oak as a furniture timber was superceded by walnut in the 17th century, and in the 18th century by mahogany,
Semi-fossilised bog oak is black in colour, and is found in peat bogs where the trees have fallen and been preserved from decay by the bog. It is used for jewellery and small carved trinkets.
Pollard oak is taken from an oak that has been regularly pollarded, that is the upper branches have been removed at the top of the trunk, result that new branches would appear, and over time the top would become ball-like. . When harvested and sawn, the timber displays a continuous surface of knotty circles. The timber was scarce and expensive and was used in more expensive pieces of furniture in the Regency and Victorian periods.
