EDITORS COMMENTS
The 6 Metre Jean (K16) gracefully cuts through the wind, showcasing its sleek design and impressive sailing capabilities. This print captures a moment in history from 1922, when Kirk & Sons of Cowes proudly presented their masterpiece to the world. The yacht's Bermuda rig stands tall against the clear sky, as it navigates the challenging waters off the Isle of Wight. Under close hauled conditions, with sails tautly trimmed and crew members fully focused, this elegant vessel demonstrates its mastery of the sea. Designed according to international rules for racing yachts, The 6 Metre Jean exemplifies both form and function. The skilled craftsmanship behind this sailing marvel is attributed to Arthur Henry Kirk and his son Edgar WP Kirk. Their meticulous attention to detail can be seen in every aspect of this monochrome image - from the perfectly rigged sailboat to its precise lee bow position. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where yachting was not just a sport but also a symbol of prestige and adventure. With William Umpleby Kirk at her helm, The 6 Metre Jean embodies both power and grace on these historic waters. This remarkable print serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Kirk & Sons of Cowes and their contribution to maritime excellence.
