EDITORS COMMENTS
The 6 Metre Class yachts Oui-Oui (D15) and Gairney racing, 1922. This print captures the thrilling moment when two magnificent sailing yachts, Oui-Oui and Gairney, competed against each other in a high-stakes race. Designed by the renowned Danish yacht designer Johan Anker, Oui-Oui showcases his exceptional craftsmanship and innovation. The picture showcases the beauty of these sleek boats as they gracefully glide through the water with their Bermuda rigs fully extended. The close-hauled position of their sails demonstrates the skillful maneuvering required to harness the wind's power effectively. Taken off the coast of Cowes on England's Isle of Wight, this historic image transports us back to an era when yachting was not only a sport but also a symbol of elegance and prestige. The Kirk family from Cowes played a significant role in building these remarkable vessels - Edgar WP Kirk and William Umpleby Kirk were instrumental in constructing both Oui-Oui and Gairney. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece, we can almost feel the excitement that filled the air during this intense competition. It serves as a reminder of how sailing has long been an exhilarating sport that combines athleticism with nature's elements. This print is not just an exquisite piece for any maritime enthusiast; it is also a testament to human ingenuity and passion for adventure on open waters.
