EDITORS COMMENTS
Sioma sailing close-hauled, 1912: A captivating glimpse into the exhilarating world of yachting in the early 20th century. This stunning photo print, captured by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, transports us back to a time when sailing was not just a sport but a way of life. The Sioma, an elegant sloop designed under the International Rule, gracefully cuts through the waters off the Isle of Wight. With its gunter rig and sleek lines, this beautiful sailboat showcases the craftsmanship and innovation that defined yacht design during this era. The monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to the image, emphasizing both the power and serenity of these magnificent vessels. The skilled crew expertly navigate their way as they sail close-hauled – tacking against the wind with precision and finesse. The Lee bow dips slightly into each wave as it glides forward towards new horizons. It is a testament to both man's ingenuity and nature's forces at play. This photograph captures more than just a moment in time; it encapsulates an entire culture centered around adventure on water. As we admire this piece of maritime history, we are reminded of how far we have come while still cherishing our deep-rooted connection to seafaring traditions.
