Captured in 1914 by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, the image showcases the beauty and power of this magnificent sailing yacht. Designed under the International Rule, Vanda represents a true masterpiece of naval architecture. With its Bermuda rig and sleek lines, it embodies both elegance and efficiency. The skilled craftsmanship of Arthur Henry Kirk is evident in every detail, from the meticulously rigged sails to the sturdy hull that effortlessly glides through choppy waters. The Isle of Wight provides a picturesque backdrop for this breathtaking scene. As gentle breezes fill her sails, Vanda leans into the wind with grace and poise. The monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to the photograph, transporting us back to an era when yachting was not just a sport but also a symbol of prestige and adventure.
