EDITORS COMMENTS
The 12 Metre gaff rigged Cyra, a timeless beauty captured in this vintage photo print. Created by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, this magnificent sailing yacht showcases the craftsmanship and elegance of the early 20th century. Designed by Alfred Mylne and built by Alexander Robertson in 1909, Cyra embodies the grace and power of classic sailboats. In this close-hauled view, Cyra sails gracefully through the waters of The Solent off the coast of England's Isle of Wight. With her sleek lines and towering masts adorned with billowing sails, she cuts through the waves effortlessly. The monochrome tones add a touch of nostalgia to this snapshot from the roaring twenties. This photograph captures not only a beautiful boat but also a piece of history. It represents an era when yachting was not just a sport but also a symbol of prestige and leisure for those who could afford it. As one imagines being on board, feeling the wind in their hair and hearing nothing but the sound of water splashing against her hull, they are transported back to a time when life moved at a slower pace. The legacy left behind by Kirk & Sons is evident in every detail captured here – from Arthur Henry Kirk's meticulous design to William Umpleby Kirk's skillful execution. This print serves as both an homage to these master craftsmen and an invitation to step into their world.
