EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases the majestic 134-ton ketch Lavengro gracefully gliding through calm waters in 1911. Crafted by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, this remarkable vessel was a true masterpiece designed by Herbert Stow and built by Stow & Sons in Shoreham back in 1902. Renowned for its exceptional speed as a ketch, Lavengro also provided unparalleled comfort as a cruiser. In this timeless image captured by Arthur Henry Kirk, we witness the sheer elegance of Lavengro's gaff rig sailboat design against the picturesque backdrop of England's Isle of Wight. The monochrome tones add an air of nostalgia to the scene, transporting us back to an era when sailing yachts ruled the seas. As we gaze upon Lavengro under sail, it is impossible not to be enchanted by her beauty and craftsmanship. With her lee bow cutting effortlessly through the water, she epitomizes both power and grace. This photograph captures a moment frozen in time—a testament to man's ingenuity and our enduring love affair with sailing. Whether used for leisurely cruises or thrilling races on The Solent, Lavengro remains an icon of maritime history.
