EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the thrilling race between two majestic sailing yachts, The 8 Metre Termagent (H9) and Windflower (H3), in the year 1911. Created by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, this image showcases the beauty and elegance of these early 20th-century boats as they gracefully glide through the water. The broadside view allows us to appreciate every detail of these magnificent vessels, from their gaff rig sails to their sleek hulls cutting through the waves. The fine weather adds a touch of serenity to this intense competition, highlighting both the skill of the sailors and the power of nature. Located off England's Isle of Wight, Cowes has long been renowned for its rich maritime history and is considered a prime destination for yacht racing enthusiasts.
