EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic 19-metre class Norada & Mariquita, two iconic sailing yachts from 1913. Created by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, this image beautifully captures the essence of these remarkable vessels. Designed by Charles Nicholson and William Fife III respectively, Norada and Mariquita were part of a series of six boats built in this class. What makes Mariquita particularly special is that she is the sole surviving 19-metre yacht out of the original six constructed. This photograph serves as a testament to her enduring legacy and historical significance within the world of sailing. The monochrome composition adds an air of timelessness to this scene, transporting viewers back to early 20th century England. The gaff rig sails billow gracefully against the backdrop of Isle of Wight's picturesque coastline. With their sleek lines and elegant design, Norada and Mariquita epitomize both beauty and speed on water. It's easy to imagine them racing through waves with skilled sailors at their helm during intense competitions under international rules. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also pays homage to renowned designers such as Charles Ernest Nicholson and William Fife III who contributed significantly to yacht design history. A true treasure for any sailing enthusiast or lover of maritime heritage alike!
