EDITORS COMMENTS
The 10 Metre class Eleda (F6) gracefully cuts through the waters of The Solent, Isle of Wight in this photo print. Captured in 1913 by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship, this image showcases the beauty and elegance of sailing during the early 20th century. Eleda, a stunning sailing yacht designed under the International Rule, is seen here close-hauled with her gaff rig fully extended. The skilled crew maneuvers her flawlessly as she leans against the wind, showcasing both power and precision. The monochrome palette adds a timeless charm to this historic moment frozen in time. The location itself holds significance as Cowes has long been associated with yachting excellence. This picturesque coastal town on England's south coast has served as a hub for sailing enthusiasts throughout history. The impeccable attention to detail captured by Arthur Henry Kirk and Edgar WP Kirk allows us to appreciate not only the artistry involved in constructing such magnificent vessels but also the sheer thrill experienced by those who sailed them. This print serves as a testament to their legacy and passion for yachting. Whether you are an avid sailor or simply admire maritime history, this striking image transports you back to an era when sailboats like Eleda ruled over vast oceans with grace and majesty.
