Sails 2001 Howard Bowcott Penarth Marina, Vale of Glamorgan. Penarth Haven is situated on the western flank of the Cardiff Bay regeneration area.  It is bordered by the mouth of the River Ely on one side and the penarth escarpment on the other.  The Taywood Homes development consists of 130 units constructed in two phases.  The development includes areas of private and public open space, the latter consisting of a river walkway and liked areas connecting the development with the adjoining Plymouth Park. Howard Bowcott’s sculpture consists of two 5metre high ‘sails’ made of hundreds of Welsh blue slates stacked on a timber frame.  The ‘sails’ sit facing each other with a small gap between them.  The sculpture sits next to the waterfront, within an area of open space and acts as a focal point within the housing complex.  Picking up on the rich maritime and shipping history of the area the piece unites the old use of the waterfront with the new and the current use of Cardiff Bay for sailing and leisure activities.
