Description
Richard M. Firth (British, born 1954)
BRITANNIA AND LULWORTH RACING OFF THE ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON
Oil on canvas, 12" x 16"
Signed
Britannia was built in 1893 for King Edward VII when he was still Prince of Wales. She was undoubtedly the most famous racing cutter of her era. Hugely successful, she won 33 out of 39 starts in her maiden season and competed against the fastest yachts of the day. Her second racing career commenced when King George V refitted her for big class competitions in 1921. Under the King's ownership, Britannia was wildly successful. Despite being re-rigged seven times, her hull shape was so efficient that she remained competitive until the big J-class boats introduced in the 1930s outclassed her.
Lulworth was designed and built in 1920 for Mr. R. H. Lee. She was originally christened Terpsichore and rigged as a cutter.
