EDITORS COMMENTS
In the roaring twenties, Marion Barbara Joe Carstairs defied societal norms and expectations as a successful yachtswoman, but her thirst for speed and adventure led her to take the wheel of her own motor boat at the international races in Cannes. In this photograph from the Women in Sport series in the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News, Carstairs, dressed in a stylish beret, is seen testing her new craft at Cowes with the assistance of her friend and crew member, Miss Barbara (Bardie) Coleclough. Born in 1900, Carstairs was a wealthy British power boat racer known for her daring exploits and eccentric lifestyle. She was openly lesbian at a time when such identities were largely hidden from public view. Her fearless approach to competition and her flamboyant personality made her a sensation in the world of motor boating. The photograph captures the excitement and energy of the 1925 racing season, with Carstairs and Coleclough focused intently on their boat, Miss M B Carstairs, as it cuts through the water. The image is a testament to the spirit of adventure and determination that characterized the era, and a reminder of the groundbreaking women who challenged gender norms and pushed the boundaries of what was possible for women in sport. Carstairs's legacy as a pioneering female motor boat racer continues to inspire new generations of women in sport, and her story serves as a reminder that the pursuit of speed, freedom, and personal fulfillment knows no bounds.
