EDITORS COMMENTS
The 118-foot racing yacht Cariad gracefully glides through the waters, its spinnaker billowing in the wind. This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the sheer elegance and power of this magnificent vessel. Built by Summers & Payne in Southampton for Lord Dunraven in 1896, Cariad was aptly named after the Welsh word for Sweetheart. With her sleek design and expert craftsmanship, she quickly became a symbol of luxury and sophistication on the seas. In this snapshot from 1911, we witness Cariad at her finest. The skilled crew maneuvers her with precision as she sails off the coast of Cowes on the Isle of Wight. The gaff rigging and distinctive ketch configuration add to her allure, making her a sight to behold against the backdrop of windward quarters. The image showcases not only a remarkable piece of maritime history but also pays tribute to those who designed, built, and sailed aboard this extraordinary vessel. It serves as a testament to their passion for sailing and their unwavering dedication to pushing boundaries. As we gaze upon this stunning photograph today, we can't help but be transported back in time – imagining ourselves onboard Cariad's deck, feeling the sea breeze against our faces. It is an enduring reminder that even amidst technological advancements in transportation over the years, there will always be something truly magical about harnessing nature's power to navigate our world.
