"Cambria and Sappho in Close Quarters off the Isle of Wight" is a marine painting by the 19th-century British artist William Edward Atkins. The artwork captures a dramatic moment during a yacht race between the schooner yachts Cambria and Sappho. The race took place in the waters off the Isle of Wight, a location renowned for its sailing competitions and regattas, most notably the Cowes Week. Atkins, known for his seascapes and maritime scenes, depicted the two vessels in a close encounter, highlighting the intensity and competitiveness of yacht racing during the period.

The painting is significant for its historical portrayal of a notable yachting event and for its artistic representation of the vessels and their surroundings. The Cambria, owned by James Ashbury, was a famous British racing schooner that challenged for the America's Cup. The Sappho, an American schooner, was one of her rivals. Their encounters were part of the spirited Anglo-American yacht racing rivalry of the era.

William Edward Atkins' work is characterized by attention to detail and a keen sense of the sea's changing moods, which is evident in "Cambria and Sappho in Close Quarters off the Isle of Wight." The painting not only serves as a historical record of the event but also showcases Atkins' skill in capturing the elegance and dynamism of these racing yachts. The artwork is appreciated by maritime art enthusiasts and historians alike for its contribution to the visual documentation of yacht racing history.
