EDITORS COMMENTS
The 6 Metre sailing yacht Jean, built in 1922 by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, is a stunning example of the elegance and craftsmanship that defined the yachting scene in the early 20th century. This print captures the timeless beauty of this classic vessel as it glides gracefully through the water. With its sleek lines and Bermuda rigging, Jean showcases both speed and style. The close-hauled position of its sails demonstrates the skillful navigation required to harness the power of wind for maximum performance. It's no wonder that sailing enthusiasts from around the world were captivated by this magnificent creation. Located off England's Isle of Wight, Cowes was renowned for its shipbuilding heritage, attracting talented craftsmen like Arthur Henry Kirk and his son Edgar WP Kirk. Their expertise shines through in every detail of Jean's design, making her a true masterpiece.
