EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1931, showcases the intense competition between the Oxford University Yacht Club and the Cambridge University Cruising Club as they vie for the H. Yule Oldham Cup during a yacht race at Ryde on the Isle of Wight. The historic event took place on the Royal Thames, adding an extra layer of prestige to the already esteemed Varsity competition. The image captures the essence of the 1930s yachting scene, with the sleek and elegant yachts cutting through the water, their sails billowing in the wind. The crews, dressed in their nautical best, focus intently on their tasks, their determination evident as they strive to outmaneuver their opponents. The H. Yule Oldham Cup, a cherished trophy in the world of inter-university sailing, adds to the significance of this race. The winning team, Cambridge University Cruising Club, can be seen celebrating their victory, their jubilation palpable as they raise their cups in triumph. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of university yachting, a tradition that continues to thrive today. It transports us back to a bygone era, a time when the spirit of friendly competition and camaraderie between Oxford and Cambridge was at its peak. The image is a beautiful reminder of the enduring allure of sailing and the special bond that exists between those who share a love for the sport.
