EDITORS COMMENTS
The 7 Metre yacht Ithnan (K2) gracefully glides across the water, its spinnaker billowing in the wind. This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the beauty and elegance of this historic sailing vessel. Created by Kirk & Sons of Cowes in 1912, the Ithnan (K2) was part of the prestigious 7 Metre class that served as an Olympic Class during both the 1908 and 1920 Olympics. With approximately 200 boats built, this class became synonymous with excellence in yachting. The image transports us back to a bygone era when sailing was not only a sport but also a symbol of status and adventure. The skilled craftsmanship is evident in every detail of this magnificent boat view – from its sleek lines to its gunter rig design. Located off England's Isle of Wight, Cowes has long been associated with yachting history. It was here that Kirk & Sons honed their expertise, creating exceptional vessels like the Ithnan (K2). The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless charm to this picture, allowing us to appreciate the artistry behind capturing such moments on film. As we gaze at this photograph, we can almost feel the thrill of running downwind with sails full and waves crashing against our hull. It serves as a reminder that even after more than a century since its creation, the allure of sailing continues to captivate hearts around the world.
