EDITORS COMMENTS
The 23-metre cutter Astra gracefully glides through the open waters, her spinnaker billowing in the wind. This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the beauty of this magnificent sailing yacht. Designed by Charles E Nicholson for Adam Mortimer Singer and launched in 1928, Astra exudes elegance and sophistication. Converted to J-Class in 1931, Astra's sleek lines and Bermuda rig make her a sight to behold on the seas. The craftsmanship of Kirk & Sons of Cowes is evident as they meticulously brought this vessel to life. With Arthur Henry Kirk and Edgar WP Kirk at the helm, their expertise shines through every detail. Located off the coast of England on the Isle of Wight, Cowes provides an idyllic backdrop for Astra's adventures. As she runs downwind with effortless grace, it is clear that sailing is not just a means of transportation but a true art form. This monochrome image transports us back to the thirties when yachting was synonymous with glamour and prestige. Owned by Mr AM Singer himself, Astra embodies his passion for luxury living combined with his love for maritime exploration. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print from Heritage Images, we are reminded of the timeless allure that sailing holds – an escape into nature's embrace while embracing our own sense of adventure.
