EDITORS COMMENTS
The Three Ketches Julnar, Cariad, and Corisande racing upwind in 1913 captures the exhilarating spirit of yachting during the early 20th century. This photo print, taken by Arthur E. Payne, showcases the skillful craftsmanship of these elegant sailing vessels as they navigate the challenging waters off Cowes, Isle of Wight. Owned by Sir Maurice Fitzgerald, the Knight of Kerry, these ketches were designed by renowned naval architect William Fife III. With their gaff rig sails billowing in the wind and close-hauled positions, Julnar, Cariad, and Corisande epitomize grace and speed on water. The image transports us back to a time when yachting was not only a sport but also an expression of opulence and prestige. The Kirk Sons of Cowes meticulously built these boats with utmost attention to detail. Their expertise is evident in every line and curve that seamlessly blend form with function. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece captured over a century ago, it serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with sailboats as symbols of adventure and freedom. It invites us to appreciate both the artistry involved in their creation and the thrill experienced by those who sailed them. This historic photograph is a testament to British maritime heritage – an ode to innovation, craftsmanship, and unwavering passion for yachting.
