EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic 15 Metre Vanity sailing gracefully in a strong wind, back in 1912. Created by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, this remarkable vessel was designed by the renowned William Fife III and launched three years prior, in 1909. The image captures the sheer power and elegance of Vanity as it cuts through the water with its gaff rig sails fully deployed. Located off the coast of England on the Isle of Wight, Cowes is known for its rich maritime heritage, making it an ideal setting for this exhilarating race. The monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to the scene, emphasizing every detail from the boat's close-hauled position to its lee quarter. Sailing enthusiasts will appreciate this snapshot that perfectly encapsulates both sport and transportation. It serves as a testament to Vanity's exceptional design and craftsmanship while highlighting her dominance on the racing circuit during this era. The weather conditions depicted here are truly awe-inspiring; you can almost feel the gusts of wind against your face just by looking at it. This photograph allows us to step back in time and experience firsthand what it must have been like aboard such a magnificent sailing yacht over a century ago.
