Scene at the Cowes Yacht Race, Isle of Wight, 1911: Four Stalwarts in the 19-Metre Class Battle the Choppy Waters This evocative photograph captures the thrilling start of the annual Cowes Yacht Race on the Isle of Wight in 1911. The Royal London Yacht Club played host to this prestigious event, attracting some of the most formidable sailors and their vessels from across the sailing community. Four competitors in the 19-metre class are seen here rounding the East Lepe Buoy, marking the beginning of the race. The boats, Mariquila, Octavia, Corona, and Horada, bravely navigate the choppy waters, their sails billowing in the wind as they jostle for position. The sea, dotted with whitecaps, reflects the determination and focus of the crews as they set their sights on the finish line. The 19-metre class boats were a popular choice for the race, with their impressive size and speed making for an exhilarating spectacle. The crews, dressed in their sailing regalia, display a sense of camaraderie and competition as they race against each other, the sun casting a golden glow over the scene. The Cowes Yacht Race has a rich history, with the first recorded race taking place in 1826. Over the years, it has grown in popularity and prestige, attracting sailors from around the world. This photograph, taken from the Pete Frost Collection, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the excitement and passion that continues to drive the sport of sailing today.
