Charles Dixon on R.A. for King George V, Royal Yacht Britannia

This ‘en grisaille’ watercolour on paper is Charles Dixon’s preparatory sketch for a proposed but apparently uncompleted painting of the royal racing yacht Britannia to be presented to King George V by the King’s Sailing Master, Sir Philip Hunloke. Britannia is depicted racing in The Royal Yacht Squadron regatta, rigged like a J class, with the sail number K1 and flying the royal signal flag at the masthead. The Squadron castle and signal mast are visible in the background. Adjacent to Britannia is Shamrock V with the sail number K3. There are two other J class yachts behind Britannia with the royal yacht Victoria and Albert observing at the rear, flying the royal standard indicating that the king is on board. Signed by Charles Dixon and dated 1933.
