SUMMER SAIL ON PLEASANT BAY

This painting depicts two 18‑foot Daysailers departing Pleasant Bay for a late‑afternoon sail as storm clouds begin to break and light returns across the water. The work earned Peter Hyde the Artist of the Year award in 2020 at the 28th Cat Gathering, an annual event hosted by Arey’s Pond Boat Builders. The scene reflects the simplicity and traditional elegance of the Daysailer ideally suited for shallow‑water sailing and is known for its custom sleek design.
