EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic 147 ton ketch Thendara gracefully sailing upwind in 1939. Created by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, this image perfectly captures the timeless beauty of Thendara as she cuts through the water with her gaff rig and elegant design. Thendara was meticulously designed by Alfred Mylne for Sir Arthur Young, a renowned Scottish yachtsman. Launched in 1937, this remarkable vessel continues to participate in races even today, a testament to her enduring legacy. The monochrome composition adds a touch of nostalgia to the scene, transporting us back to an era when sailing boats like Thendara were at their prime. The Isle of Wight serves as a picturesque backdrop for this close-hauled cutter, showcasing the stunning natural beauty that England has to offer. As we admire this photograph, we can't help but appreciate the craftsmanship behind every detail of Thendara's construction. From her sleek lines to her expertly rigged sails, it is evident that she was built with both form and function in mind. This image not only celebrates Thendara's rich history but also pays homage to the artistry and skill involved in creating such magnificent vessels. It reminds us of the joy and excitement that come from being out on open waters, harnessing nature's power through sail alone.
