Canadian J24 Class President Dale Robertson recently made a splash (excuse the pun) in Halifax, Nova Scotia, when he took advantage of a Hip Hop festival organized by the City of Halifax. "Live Art" is a component of the hip hop culture and the organizers were looking for a boat to paint. World renowned artist Aaron Li-Hill, from Toronto, was flown in for this event and Dale's boat became his canvas at the Nova Scotia Art Museum in September, and then the next day at the Halifax Commons. Thousands of people witnessed Aaron and local Halifax artist Christian Toth, also well known, turned the J24 into the remarkable artwork that can be seen in these photos. Dale then had Luke Porter, a local boat repair expert, paint a clear coat of urethane over the art to protect it. Dale's boat is now an attraction at Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron, both on and off the water.
Here’s a view of the completely different – and equally cool – design on the other side, with SLAM crew (from left to right): Christian Toth, Aaron Li Hill, Dale Robertson, Billy Comer. Photos courtesy of Billy, and thanks to Greg B for the story.
