EDITORS COMMENTS
The 6 Metre Amethyst gracefully cuts through the waves, sails billowing in the wind, as it navigates the open waters off Cowes. This stunning print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the skill and craftsmanship of Kirk & Sons of Cowes. Built in 1913, The 6 Metre Amethyst was a true marvel of its time, designed to adhere to the strict regulations set by the International Rule for yacht racing. With its sleek lines and gunter rigging system, this sailing yacht embodied both elegance and speed. The photograph offers a glimpse into an era when yachting was not only a sport but also a symbol of prestige and leisure. As we admire this monochrome image, we can almost feel the excitement that must have filled the air as The 6 Metre Amethyst raced against other formidable competitors. Located on England's Isle of Wight, Cowes provided an idyllic backdrop for such maritime pursuits. Its picturesque coastline served as a playground for sailors from around the world who sought adventure on these historic waters. This print is not just a testament to Arthur Henry Kirk's exceptional boat-building skills or William Umpleby Kirk's masterful photography; it is also a tribute to an enduring passion for sailing that has spanned generations. It serves as a reminder that even today, yachting continues to capture our imagination with its timeless beauty and sense of freedom.
