"Captivating Close-Hauled Sailing: A Glimpse into the Exquisite Lee Bow Yachts" Step back in time and witness the sheer elegance of sailing as these magnificent vessels gracefully cut through the water, their lee bows pointing towards adventure. In 1933, the majestic 205-ton J-class yacht Velsheda showcased its prowess, sailing close hauled with an air of regality. Its sleek design and impressive size made it a true spectacle on the open seas. A decade earlier, in 1913, Kirk & Sons of Cowes crafted another masterpiece - La Cigale. This auxiliary schooner was a vision to behold as it glided effortlessly close-hauled, leaving behind a trail of awe-inspired onlookers. Not far behind was Lisette, a stunning 76-ton schooner also created by Kirk & Sons of Cowes. With every sail perfectly trimmed and taut against the wind's force, Lisette embodied both beauty and power. Julnar took to the waters in 1911 as a remarkable example of nautical craftsmanship. This 96-ft ketch designed by Kirk & Sons of Cowes displayed exceptional skill in navigating upwind while maintaining its gracefulness. The Trivia joined this elite fleet in 1939 as a proud representative of the prestigious 12 Metre class yachts. As it sailed close-hauled under expert guidance from Kirk & Sons of Cowes' creators, Trivia left spectators spellbound with its speed and precision. Meteor IV made waves in maritime history when it first set sail in 1912. The brainchild of Kirk & Sons of Cowes' skilled artisans, this schooner epitomized elegance while conquering any headwind that dared to challenge its might. Witnessing Ostaria, Hispania, and Sophie Elizabeth racing upwind together was like witnessing poetry come alive on water; their synchronized movements painted an enchanting picture of competition and camaraderie in 1911.
