The image, taken by Arthur Henry Kirk, showcases the beauty and grace of this remarkable vessel against the backdrop of Cowes, Isle of Wight. With its Bermuda rig and monochrome aesthetic, the photograph exudes a timeless charm that transports us back to the golden age of yachting.

This particular shot perfectly captures a moment when it is sailing close-hauled - an impressive display of skill by both crew and boat.
