EDITORS COMMENTS
The 12 Metre Bermuda rig sailing yacht Westra, designed by Charles Nicholson and created by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, is captured in this print from 1936. With its sleek lines and impressive sail configuration, Westra was a force to be reckoned with in the world of yacht racing during the 1930s. In 1934, Westra proved her dominance by winning an astounding 15 out of 35 races. The following years saw her securing second place in both 1935 and 1936. This remarkable track record solidified her reputation as one of the most formidable competitors on the water. The image showcases Westra gracefully cutting through the waves while close hauled, demonstrating her exceptional speed and agility. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this snapshot from yachting history. Located off the coast of England on the Isle of Wight, Cowes served as a hub for sailing enthusiasts during this era. Kirk & Sons were renowned boat builders who crafted vessels that combined elegance with superior performance. This print serves as a testament to Westra's legacy as well as the craftsmanship behind her creation. It captures a moment frozen in time when she reigned supreme among fellow yachtsmen, embodying the spirit of competition and adventure that defines yachting.
