EDITORS COMMENTS
The 15-metre class Maudrey, designed by renowned Scottish boat designer William Fife III, gracefully sails close-hauled in this photo print. Captured in 1913 by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, the image showcases the timeless beauty and elegance of this magnificent sailing yacht. The 15-metre class was a prestigious category of yachts built between 1907 and 1917, with only twenty vessels ever constructed. Maudrey stands as a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship and innovation that defined this era of boat design. With its gaff rig and sleek lines, Maudrey cuts through the water effortlessly as it navigates the challenging waters off England's Isle of Wight. The monochrome composition adds a sense of nostalgia to the scene, transporting viewers back to a time when sailing was not just a means of transportation but also an art form. This photograph captures both the power and serenity inherent in sailing. It invites us to imagine ourselves on board, feeling the wind in our hair and experiencing the thrill of gliding across open waters. As we admire Maudrey's impressive lee bow position against an idyllic coastal backdrop, we are reminded that these majestic vessels were once at the forefront of maritime technology. A true masterpiece from another era, this print is sure to captivate anyone with an appreciation for history or nautical adventures.
