EDITORS COMMENTS
"The 12 Metre yacht Javotte gracefully cuts through the waters of The Solent, sailing close-hauled in this photo print. Captured in 1911 by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, this stunning image showcases the timeless beauty and elegance of Javotte, a masterpiece designed by Alfred Mylne and built in 1909. With its gaff rig and sleek lines, Javotte epitomizes the spirit of early 20th-century sailing. The skilled craftsmanship is evident in every detail as she glides effortlessly against the wind, her sails billowing with power. The monochrome tones add a sense of nostalgia to this snapshot from a bygone era. The Isle of Wight's picturesque coastline serves as a breathtaking backdrop for this thrilling regatta scene. As spectators line the shore, Javotte competes fiercely against other yachts, showcasing her speed and agility on the racecourse. The breezy conditions create an exhilarating atmosphere as crew members skillfully navigate Javotte's lee bow through each challenging maneuver. This moment frozen in time captures both the excitement and tranquility that come with sailing on open waters. This remarkable print is not just a testament to William Umpleby Kirk's exceptional photography skills but also pays homage to Arthur Henry Kirk's renowned boat-building legacy at Cowes. It serves as a reminder of how sailboats like Javotte have played an integral role in transportation history while embodying sport and adventure" (Note
