EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense racing moment of the 19-metre class Norada and Mariquita in 1913. Designed by Charles Nicholson and William Fife III respectively, these majestic sailing yachts showcase the epitome of elegance and power. Amongst the six built, Mariquita stands as the sole survivor of this prestigious class. The image portrays both vessels engaged in a close-hauled race, their sails tautly filled with wind as they gracefully cut through the water. The gaff rigging adds a touch of nostalgia to this scene from a bygone era when sailing was not only a sport but also an art form. Taken off Cowes, Isle of Wight, England, this photograph transports us back to early 20th-century yacht racing at its finest. The monochrome composition enhances the timeless beauty captured within each detail - from the intricate craftsmanship on deck to every ripple formed by their swift movement. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of maritime history frozen in time, we are reminded of how sailboats like Norada and Mariquita symbolize human ingenuity and our eternal quest for adventure on water. This image serves as a testament to their enduring legacy within yachting circles worldwide.
