EDITORS COMMENTS
The 105 ft ketch Thendara, designed by Alfred Mylne for Scottish yachtsman Sir Arthur Young, gracefully sails upwind in this photo print. Taken in 1939 by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, the image showcases the timeless beauty and enduring spirit of Thendara as she cuts through the water with her gaff rig and elegant lines. Thendara's rich history is evident as she glides along the Isle of Wight coastline near Cowes, England. Built with precision and craftsmanship by Edgar WP Kirk and his team at Kirk & Sons of Cowes, this magnificent sailing yacht has been a symbol of excellence since her launch in 1937. With close-hauled sails capturing every gust of wind, Thendara demonstrates her racing prowess even to this day. Her legacy lives on as she continues to participate in thrilling races across various locations. The monochrome aesthetic adds a touch of nostalgia to the scene, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry behind the photograph and the timelessness of Thendara herself. This remarkable piece captures not just a boat but also an era when sailing was more than just transportation; it was a sport that embodied elegance, adventure, and camaraderie. As we gaze upon this stunning image from Heritage Images, we are reminded that some things never fade away – they simply evolve into legends.
