EDITORS COMMENTS
The 6 Metre class boat Jean (K16) gracefully cuts through the waves, sailing close-hauled in this photo print. Captured by Kirk & Sons of Cowes in 1921, the image showcases the timeless beauty and elegance of sailboats from the early 20th century. With its Bermuda rig and sleek design, Jean epitomizes the spirit of yachting during that era. The monochrome composition adds a touch of nostalgia, transporting us back to a time when sailing was not just a sport but also a way of life. The location is none other than Cowes, on the enchanting Isle of Wight in England – renowned for its rich maritime heritage. This picturesque setting served as an ideal backdrop for sailors like Arthur Henry Kirk and William Umpleby Kirk to showcase their craftsmanship and passion for boats. As we admire this broadside view of Jean under full sail, we can almost feel the wind in our hair and taste the salt on our lips. It's a reminder that even amidst technological advancements in transportation, there is something truly magical about harnessing nature's power to navigate across vast bodies of water. This stunning print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also embodies the enduring allure of sailing as both a competitive sport and leisurely pastime.
