EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a thrilling moment in sailing history. In the year 1914, off the coast of Cowes on the Isle of Wight in England, five magnificent sailboats are seen gracefully gliding through the water. The boats participating in this exhilarating race are named Stella, Vanda, Bubble, Wamba and Lanka. Under the Bermuda rig sails that billow with wind power against a monochrome sky backdrop, these sleek vessels showcase their impressive speed and agility. Each boat represents a different meter classification - from 6 to 12 meters - highlighting the diversity of yacht designs during this era. The image is credited to Arthur Henry Kirk and Edgar WP Kirk Sons of Cowes who skillfully captured this iconic moment in yachting history. Their expertise behind the lens brings out every detail of these remarkable vessels as they compete for victory. This photograph serves as a testament to both the beauty and excitement of competitive sailing during early twentieth century England. It transports us back to an era where sport met elegance on open waters. Whether you're an avid sailor or simply appreciate stunning maritime photography, this print is sure to captivate your imagination with its timeless charm.
