A collection of loose photographs of Solent Racing Yachts and Dinghies, circa 1930
approximately 96 by Kirk, Cowes, mostly signed and annotated some with ink stamp to reverse or blind embossing, including: International 14, "Q" and "H" class Solent Handicap, 30 Square Metre, International Dragon, Redwing, plus various small craft, including an International 10 Square Metre sailing canoe -- generally 11 x 9in. (28 x 23cm.) each
(A lot)
The International 14 pictures include early West of England Class clinker built, Gunter rigged variants. Early class numbers were issued in batches, so are not a reliable indicator of age. The "Q" class mostly comprised superannuated yachts of the 6 Metre class, rendered out of rating by virtue of rig or cruising modifications. They often raced with the "W" class. The 30 square metre was one of a group of Scandinavian "Skerry Cruiser" type yachts, with little control over hull design, but restricted to a designated sail area. There were yachts in 15, 22, 30 square metre groups, right up to 75. One yacht depicted in this collection, Tsu Hang, was famously owned by Lt Col 'Blondie' Hasler after WW2.
