EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken in 1912, we witness the exhilarating race between two majestic sailing yachts of the 7 Metre class. The Anitra (K4) and Ginevra (K7) are seen gracefully gliding downwind, their Bermuda rigs billowing with the force of the wind. The image captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the skillful navigation and intense competition that defined yacht racing during this era. The boats' sleek designs and elegant lines reflect both beauty and functionality as they cut through the water with precision. Located off the coast of Cowes on England's Isle of Wight, this historic race brought together sailors from different countries to compete under international rules. As spectators watched from afar, these vessels represented not only a means of transportation but also symbols of national pride. Photographed by Arthur Henry Kirk and Edgar WP Kirk, renowned photographers from Kirk Sons of Cowes, this monochrome masterpiece highlights their expertise in capturing dynamic moments at sea. Their attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition - from the stern view perspective to the intricate rigging that propels these magnificent sailboats forward. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to both sporting prowess and nautical craftsmanship during one unforgettable moment in early 20th-century yachting history.
