The Beken Calendars have been published annually since 1973 and remain high on every boating enthusiast’s gift list. Beken have an unrivalled and ever-expanding archive of marine photography, having been in the business since 1888.

This is drawn upon most notably in the sepia-toned Classic wall calendar, where it is difficult not to be enthralled by, for example, early shots of J-class yachts under full sail, with her impossibly long boom and seemingly countless crew.
