The 6 Metre Vanda glides gracefully across the open waters, capturing the essence of early 20th-century yachting. This photo print, taken in 1913 by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, showcases the sheer beauty and power of this magnificent sailing boat. With its sleek design and gunter rig sail, The 6 Metre Vanda exemplifies the elegance and craftsmanship synonymous with international rule yachts during this era. Its skilled crew skillfully navigates through the wind as it sails on a broad reach, showcasing their expertise in handling such a vessel. Located off the coast of England's Isle of Wight, Cowes has long been recognized as a hub for sailing enthusiasts. The Kirk family, led by Arthur Henry Kirk and his son Edgar WP Kirk, were renowned boat builders in Cowes who crafted exceptional vessels like The 6 Metre Vanda. The monochrome composition adds an air of nostalgia to this image while emphasizing the dramatic contrast between light and shadow.
