This print captures the intense racing scene of three majestic 19 Metres yachts battling it out on the waters off Cowes in the early 20th century. Created by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship, this image showcases their mastery in capturing the essence of sailing. The yachts are seen gracefully cutting through the wind and water as they compete against each other with utmost precision.

This photograph transports us back to a time when yachting was not only a sport but also a symbol of prestige and adventure.
