In this photo print, we are transported back to the exhilarating world of yacht racing in 1914. The image showcases three magnificent vessels from the renowned 6 Metre class - Lanka, Wamba, and Stella - as they fiercely compete on a reaching leg. With their sleek bermuda rigs cutting through the water, these sailing yachts epitomize elegance and power. The scene unfolds off the coast of Cowes, England, during a breezy summer day. The Isle of Wight provides a picturesque backdrop for this thrilling display of skill and determination. Captured by Arthur Henry Kirk and his son Edgar WP Kirk, both esteemed photographers of their time, this monochrome masterpiece perfectly encapsulates the essence of early 20th-century yachting. As these majestic boats glide effortlessly across the waves, one can almost feel the palpable excitement in the air. The competitors' expertise is evident as they navigate through challenging conditions with precision and grace. This snapshot serves as a testament to not only their sporting prowess but also to mankind's enduring fascination with harnessing nature's elements for transportation and recreation.

This extraordinary photograph stands as an enduring tribute to an era when sailboat racing was at its zenith – a timeless reminder of our rich maritime
