EDITORS COMMENTS
The 6-metre Wamba II and Lanka gracefully sail on a reach, showcasing the elegance of early 20th-century yachting. This photo print, captured in 1914 by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, transports us back to an era when sailing was not only a sport but also a symbol of prestige and adventure. The image depicts two magnificent boats gliding through the water with their Bermuda rigs fully extended. The sleek lines of these sailing yachts are accentuated by the monochrome palette, highlighting their timeless beauty. The Wamba II and Lanka were both renowned for their speed and agility, designed according to the International Rule that governed yacht racing during this period. Located off the coast of England on the Isle of Wight, Cowes served as a hub for sailing enthusiasts from around the world. It was here that Arthur Henry Kirk and his son Edgar WP Kirk established their esteemed boat-building company, known for crafting exceptional vessels like Wamba II. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost feel the wind in our hair and hear the gentle lapping of waves against these majestic boats. It serves as a reminder that sailing is not merely about reaching a destination; it's about embracing freedom on open waters while pushing boundaries. This remarkable photograph captures not only two extraordinary yachts but also encapsulates an entire era defined by passion for adventure, innovation in design, and love for maritime traditions.
