EDITORS COMMENTS
The 19-metre class Mariquita (C1) & Corona (C3) gracefully glide through the waters, their spinnakers billowing in the wind. This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing two magnificent sailing yachts designed by the renowned William Fife III. Taken in 1911 off the coast of Cowes, England, this image transports us back to an era when yacht racing was at its peak. The Mariquita and Corona were both masterpieces of craftsmanship, embodying the elegance and power that defined early 20th-century sailing. With their gaff rigging and sleek lines, these vessels epitomize the golden age of yachting. The International Rule governed their design, ensuring fair competition among different classes of boats. As they race downwind with remarkable speed and precision, one can almost feel the thrill experienced by those on board. The Isle of Wight provides a picturesque backdrop for this exhilarating display of skill and sportsmanship. It is a testament to Arthur Henry Kirk's talent as a photographer that he captured such dynamic action amidst serene surroundings. This monochrome photograph not only celebrates a significant moment in maritime history but also serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with sailboats as symbols of adventure and freedom.
