EDITORS COMMENTS
The yawl Sumurun gracefully glides downwind, her spinnaker billowing in the wind. This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the timeless beauty of this 1922 sailing vessel. Built by Kirk & Sons of Cowes in 1914, Sumurun was designed by renowned architect William Fife for The Rt Hon. Lionel Edward, Baron Sackville. The image transports us to the Isle of Wight off the coast of England, where this gaff-rigged yacht proudly sails through the waters with elegance and precision. The skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident as we admire every line and curve of Sumurun's sleek hull. As we gaze at this monochrome masterpiece captured by Arthur Henry Kirk, we can almost feel the thrill of being on board this magnificent sailboat. The stern view reveals a glimpse into a world where yachting is not just a sport but an art form; where water transport becomes poetry in motion. This photograph serves as a reminder that even after nearly a century has passed since its creation, Sumurun's allure remains undiminished. It stands as a testament to both her creators' ingenuity and the enduring passion for sailing shared by those who have had the privilege to experience it firsthand.
