The Renault 4 makes a journey out to Rathlin Island, on the Spirit of Rathlin ferry to meet artist and guide Charlotte Bosanquet. In 2018, Charlotte Bosanquet restored and moved onto a 1932 wooden fishing Trawler, named Family’s Pride, moored in Rathlin Harbour. She was harbour master in Rathlin and now works as the Community Engagement Officer on the LIFE Raft project, a rat and ferret eradication project. 

In 2023 Charlotte Bosanquet was asked to be crew on a concept sail from Ireland to the Azores to collect tea and bring it back. The route was chosen as both countries are in the EU, therefore movement of goods between them was easier. Using historic travel writing, Bosanquet constructed pictures of the hull of the boat in the style of the adventure sailors. She transcribed a conversation with the captain, Skipper Jamie Young, to capture the experience of sailing across the seas. In her work Charlotte addresses environmental and social concerns

“I hope to show that sail trading can be used as a way of thinking about our current carbon footprint and what we can do to mitigate it, using the skills we have.”
