EDITORS COMMENTS
The 7 Metre Anitra (foreground) and Nelta, on downwind leg, 1911. This print captures the thrill of yacht racing in the early 20th century. In the foreground, we see The 7 Metre Anitra gracefully cutting through the water with its sleek Bermuda rigging proudly displayed. Behind it, Nelta follows closely, both boats engaged in a fierce competition for victory. The image transports us back to Cowes, Isle of Wight, where these magnificent sailing yachts showcased their speed and elegance. Created by Arthur Henry Kirk and his sons Edgar WP Kirk and William Umpleby Kirk – renowned boat builders of their time – this photograph is a testament to their craftsmanship. As they race on the windward quarter towards glory, one can almost feel the excitement that filled the air during those intense moments. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to this snapshot from history. This print serves as a reminder of an era when sailing was not only a sport but also a display of engineering prowess and skillful navigation. It encapsulates the beauty of sailboats gliding effortlessly across vast waters - an art form that continues to captivate enthusiasts today.
