EDITORS COMMENTS
The 6 Metre sailing yacht Neerlandia VI (L63), built in 1913 by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, is captured in this timeless photo print. Designed by Arthur Henry Kirk and Edgar WP Kirk, this elegant vessel showcases the craftsmanship and innovation of its time. With its sleek lines and gunter rig sail configuration, the Neerlandia VI epitomizes the beauty and grace of early 20th-century yachting. This close-hauled view highlights the yacht's impressive performance capabilities as it cuts through the water with precision. Moored off the picturesque Isle of Wight in England, this monochrome image captures a moment frozen in time. The location adds to the charm, as Cowes has long been associated with sailing excellence. The Neerlandia VI was constructed under the International Rule measurement system that aimed to create fair competition among different classes of boats. With William Umpleby Kirk at helm, this sloop became renowned for its speed and agility on both Lee broadside winds and open waters. This stunning print serves as a testament to a bygone era when sailing was not only a sport but also an art form. It transports us back to a time when these majestic vessels ruled over vast oceans, reminding us of our enduring fascination with water transport.
