EDITORS COMMENTS
The 19-metre class Mariquita, designed by William Fife III and captured in this timeless print, showcases the elegance and power of sailing in the early 20th century. The photograph, taken by Arthur Henry Kirk of Kirk & Sons of Cowes, transports us back to 1911 when Mariquita was at her prime. Sailing close-hauled with her gaff rig fully extended, Mariquita effortlessly cuts through the wind as she glides across the waters off the Isle of Wight. This magnificent cutter is a testament to both Fife's genius design and Kirk's skillful craftsmanship. Today, Mariquita stands as a remarkable survivor among her peers - the only remaining 19-metre class yacht out of six ever built. Her presence serves as a reminder of an era when yachting was not just a sport but also a symbol of prestige and adventure. The monochrome image captures every detail: from the tautness of her sails to the determination etched on her crew's faces. It speaks volumes about their dedication to harnessing nature's elements for exhilarating journeys on water. This print is more than just a piece of history; it represents our enduring fascination with sailboats, their timeless beauty, and their ability to transport us into another world where wind becomes our guide.
