Alfred Mylne: A Legacy of Elegance and Speed on the Open Seas Step back in time to witness the breathtaking beauty of Alfred Mylne's masterpieces, as they gracefully glide through the waters with unmatched elegance. From majestic ketches to sleek sailing yachts, each vessel tells a story of innovation and craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. In 1939, the 105 ft ketch Thendara stole hearts as it sailed effortlessly with its spinnaker billowing in the wind. Created by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, this masterpiece showcased Mylne's genius for combining form and function. The year 1911 witnessed an exhilarating race between Ostaria, Hispania, and Sophie Elizabeth. These magnificent 15-metre yachts battled against nature's forces while racing upwind - a true testament to their strength and resilience. Another gem from Kirk & Sons was the 147-ton ketch Thendara. In 1939, it defied gravity as it sailed upwind with grace unparalleled. The craftsmanship displayed in every detail spoke volumes about Mylne's dedication to perfection. The cutters Creole (3) and Ma oona (6) engaged in a thrilling close-hauled race in 1913. Their synchronized movements showcased both skillful navigation and fierce competition – a sight that left spectators breathless. Witnessing the start of Cowes to Weymouth Race was like stepping into history itself. In August 1913 and again in August 1911, Kirk & Sons captured these remarkable moments where anticipation filled the air before sailors embarked on their daring journey across treacherous waters. Javotte, a stunning 12 Metre yacht designed by Mylne himself, sailed close-hauled with unwavering determination in 1911. Its sleek lines sliced through waves effortlessly – a true embodiment of power combined with elegance.
