Big class racing as it is usually recalled: a sunny summer day with sea smooth and sparkling , and a light but firm breeze bunching the class at the mark. This photograph was taken from the large schooner Westward in 1928. Male guests in cheesecutter caps and white flannels and ladies in cloche hats watch the Bermudian-rigged Cambria coming up on the wind after rounding the buoy and sheeting home her newly set jib. The black-hulled Britannia is approaching the buoy and prepares to jibe as a jib is being sent up. The class has recently been kedged and the stocked anchors are still hanging from a snatchblock at the bowsprit end on Britannia and the Bermudian cutter Astra, next astern, which appears to be luffing the larger gaff cutter Lulworth, while Shamrock (23 Metre) comes down on both of them. A few moments of tension and all will go clear to round the buoy within touch of each other, booms slumping over in the jibes, shaking the rigging slightly and with the patter of reef points as the mainsail settles down on the windward leg and the sheets are trimmed. Yachting!
