Competitive sailing dinghy racing, in the estuary of the River Exe, south coast of Devon, southwest England, Great Britain.

This image shows two men racing a class of boat called a B14, in the estuary of the River Exe, Devon, Great Britain. The wind's force on the sails tends to make the boat want to lean over. The crew are able to prevent this by using their weight to balance the boat, in this instance using 'wings' added to the side of the boat, that enables the crew to move their weight further out.
