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.
