EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exhilarating moment of Gundred, an 8 Metre class yacht, gracefully running downwind under her spinnaker in 1913. The image was skillfully captured by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, renowned for their exceptional marine photography during the early 20th century. The picture showcases Gundred's sleek design and elegant lines as she glides through the water off the coast of Cowes, Isle of Wight. With her gaff rig and cutter configuration, this sailing beauty epitomizes the timeless charm and craftsmanship of yachts from that era. The breezy weather adds to the drama unfolding on this monochrome scene. As Gundred leans into a lee bow position with her sails billowing against a clear sky, it is evident that both crew members and spectators alike are captivated by this thrilling display of speed and agility. This photograph not only celebrates a remarkable moment in yachting history but also pays homage to Arthur Henry Kirk and Edgar WP Kirk - two talented photographers who documented countless maritime events with unparalleled artistry. As we gaze upon this stunning image today, we can't help but be transported back in time to an era when sailing was not just a sport but also a way of life. It serves as a reminder that even after more than a century has passed since its creation, the allure of sailboats continues to inspire awe and admiration among enthusiasts around the world.
