EDITORS COMMENTS
The 19-metre class Octavia (C2) & Mariquita racing close-hauled, captured in this photo print, showcases the beauty and elegance of these historic sailing yachts. Designed by renowned naval architects Alfred Mylne and William Fife respectively, Octavia and Mariquita epitomize the golden age of yacht racing in the early 20th century. The image transports us to Cowes, Isle of Wight, where these magnificent vessels competed against each other with great intensity. The gaff-rigged sails billow as they navigate through the water with precision and grace. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this snapshot from history.
