EDITORS COMMENTS
The 8 Metre yacht Antwerpia (H19) gracefully glides through the waters, its majestic spinnaker billowing in the wind. This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the beauty and elegance of sailing during the early 20th century. Built in 1911 by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, England, this magnificent cutter embodies both craftsmanship and innovation. Designed under the International Rule, Antwerpia demonstrates her prowess as she races against other yachts of different sizes - from 6 metres to an impressive 19 metres. The skilled crew maneuvers with precision as they navigate around Isle of Wight's Cowes area, renowned for its rich yachting history. The gaff rig adds a touch of nostalgia to this monochrome scene while emphasizing the vessel's classic design. Under the command of William Umpleby Kirk and Arthur Henry Kirk, Antwerpia showcases her speed and agility while running downwind. Her sleek lines cut through the water effortlessly as she leaves a trail behind her. This print is not just an image; it represents a bygone era when sailing was not only a sport but also a symbol of adventure and exploration. It serves as a reminder that even today, amidst modern transportation methods, there is still something enchanting about harnessing nature's power to propel oneself across vast bodies of water.
