EDITORS COMMENTS
The 105 ft ketch Thendara gracefully glides through the open waters, her spinnaker billowing in the wind. This stunning print captures a moment frozen in time from 1939, showcasing the timeless beauty of this magnificent sailing yacht. Designed by renowned naval architect Alfred Mylne for Scottish yachtsman Sir Arthur Young, Thendara embodies elegance and craftsmanship. Launched in 1937, she continues to race even today, a testament to her enduring legacy. The image was captured by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, expertly showcasing their skill in capturing the essence of sailing. The monochrome tones add a touch of nostalgia and highlight the sleek lines of Thendara as she cuts through the water with precision. Located off England's Isle of Wight, Cowes has long been associated with sailing excellence. It is here that Kirk & Sons have established themselves as masters of marine photography. This photograph showcases Thendara running downwind under gaff rigging—a true spectacle for any lover of sailboats and racing enthusiasts alike. With its powerful composition and evocative atmosphere, it transports viewers to an era where sailing was not just a sport but also an art form. As we admire this remarkable piece from Heritage Images' collection, we are reminded of the rich history behind each vessel—each one representing dreams realized on vast oceans.
