EDITORS COMMENTS
The 19-metre cutter Norada gracefully cuts through the water, sails billowing in the wind, as it navigates close-hauled. This stunning print captures a moment frozen in time from 1911. Designed by Charles Nicholson and launched that same year, Norada showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of Kirk & Sons of Cowes. The image offers a unique perspective from the lee quarter, allowing viewers to appreciate the intricate details of this magnificent sailing yacht. The gaff rigging stands tall against the backdrop of England's Isle of Wight, where Norada proudly calls home. As one explores this monochrome masterpiece further, they can't help but admire how effortlessly Norada glides across the water. The International Rule design ensures both speed and elegance on every voyage she embarks upon. This photograph transports us back to an era when yachting was not only a sport but also a symbol of prestige and adventure. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with water transport and its ability to connect us with nature. With William Umpleby Kirk at its helm, Norada embodies both power and grace—a testament to her skilled crew who navigate her through these vast waters. As we gaze upon this scene captured by Arthur Henry Kirk's lens, we are reminded once again why sailing remains an eternal passion for many.
