EDITORS COMMENTS
The sailing yacht Rollo at anchor, 1911. This print captures the majestic beauty of the sailing yacht Rollo as it peacefully rests at anchor in the Solent. Designed by Johan Anker, a renowned Norwegian designer, Rollo was helmed by Anker himself during the prestigious 1911 Coronation Regatta. The skilled craftsmanship of Kirk & Sons of Cowes is evident in every detail of this magnificent vessel. As the regatta unfolded, Rollo showcased its exceptional performance and grace on the water, ultimately earning Norway a gold medal. Its sleek design and gaff rig made it a formidable competitor under the International Rule governing yacht racing during that era. The Isle of Wight's picturesque coastline provided an idyllic backdrop for this historic event, with Cowes serving as a hub for yachting enthusiasts from around the world. The Kirk family's legacy in boatbuilding shines through their creation of such an exquisite cutter like Rollo. This monochrome image transports us back to a time when sailing was not only a sport but also an art form—a testament to human ingenuity and our deep connection with nature. It reminds us of the timeless allure and elegance associated with yachting—a symbol of freedom, adventure, and boundless possibilities on open waters.
