EDITORS COMMENTS
The Cutters Creole (3) and Ma oona (6) racing close-hauled, 1913. This print captures a thrilling moment in the world of yachting during the early 20th century. The two magnificent sailing boats, each with their unique design and history, are locked in an intense race off the coast of Cowes, England. Ma oona, designed by Alfred Mylne and built at McAlisters yard in Dumbarton in 1907, showcases the craftsmanship and elegance that defined this era of yacht construction. On the other hand, Creole was designed by George L. Watson back in 1890 and represents a true testament to timeless beauty on water. With their gaff rig sails fully extended against a backdrop of monochrome splendor, these vessels demonstrate both power and grace as they navigate through challenging waters. The skilled crew members can be seen strategically maneuvering their respective boats to gain any advantage possible. This image not only captures a momentous sporting event but also serves as a reminder of our rich maritime heritage. It transports us back to an era when sailing was not just a sport but also an art form - where wind-powered vessels showcased human ingenuity while harmonizing with nature's elements. As we admire this remarkable photograph today, we pay homage to those who dedicated themselves to pushing boundaries on water transport while preserving tradition.
