Cowes, a picturesque town located on the Isle of Wight, has long been synonymous with yachting and maritime history, and is here that the 205-ton J-class yacht Velsheda gracefully sailed close hauled in 1933, showcasing the sheer elegance and power of these magnificent vessels. In Cowes, the sea becomes a stage for remarkable creations like the steam yacht Boadicea, anchored proudly amidst its surroundings.
