EDITORS COMMENTS
The 19-metre class Corona, captured in this photo print, showcases the timeless elegance of a bygone era. Created by Kirk & Sons of Cowes in 1911, Corona was one of only six yachts ever built in this prestigious class. Designed by the renowned William Fife III, she epitomizes the grace and beauty that characterized sailing during the early 20th century. In this striking image, Corona is seen close-hauled on the open waters off Cowes, Isle of Wight. With her gaff rig and sleek lines cutting through the waves, she exudes power and precision. The monochrome palette adds a touch of nostalgia to an already captivating scene. This photograph pays tribute to Arthur Henry Kirk's exceptional craftsmanship as he skillfully captured Edgar WP Kirk at his finest moment aboard Corona. It serves as a testament to their dedication to excellence in yacht building. Corona's presence on these waters symbolizes not just a sport but also a way of life—a passion for sailing that has endured through generations. As we admire this remarkable piece of maritime history frozen in time, let us appreciate its significance as both an art form and a celebration of human ingenuity.
