EDITORS COMMENTS
The racing cutters Creole (3) and Rosamond, 1911. This print captures the essence of early 20th-century yacht racing off the coast of Cowes, England. Created by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship in boat building, this image showcases two magnificent sailing yachts engaged in a thrilling race. The sleek lines and elegant gaff rigging of the boats are beautifully highlighted against the monochrome backdrop. The close-hauled position reveals their impressive speed as they navigate through the waters with precision. The skillful crew members can be seen adjusting sails to optimize performance while maintaining perfect balance. Both vessels represent a pinnacle of design and engineering for their time. Creole (3), helmed by William Umpleby Kirk, is a forty rater cutter known for its remarkable speed and agility on water. Rosamond, designed by George Lennox Watson under Edgar WP Kirk's supervision, boasts an equally impressive reputation as a top-class sailing yacht. This photograph transports us back to an era when yachting was not only a sport but also a symbol of elegance and sophistication. It captures the thrill of competition amidst breathtaking natural surroundings – the Isle of Wight providing a picturesque backdrop to this exhilarating display.
