EDITORS COMMENTS
The 46 ft yawl Chinkara gracefully glides through the waters, showcasing its timeless beauty and elegance. Captured in this print from 1913, the craftsmanship of Kirk & Sons of Cowes is evident in every detail. Designed by Frederick Shepherd and built at the Hanson yard on the Isle of Wight for Colonel Potts in 1903, Chinkara embodies a rich history that spans decades. With its gaff rigging and sleek lines, this sailing boat stands as a testament to both engineering prowess and artistic vision. The monochrome tones lend an air of nostalgia to the image, transporting us back to a simpler time when sailboats ruled the seas. The photograph captures Chinkara mid-sail, her sails billowing against a backdrop of open water. The Lee broadside reveals her impressive size while also highlighting her agility on the waves. It's easy to imagine feeling the wind in your hair as you stand aboard this magnificent vessel. Chinkara represents not only a mode of transportation but also a connection to nature and adventure. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of maritime history, we are reminded of our enduring fascination with exploration and our deep-rooted relationship with water transport. This print serves as both an homage to past achievements in naval architecture and an invitation for future generations to continue embracing their love affair with sailing.
