Competitive sailing dinghy racing, in the estuary of the River Exe, south coast of Devon, southwest England, Great Britain.
The image shows two catamarans of the Hurricane class racing with their spinnakers hoisted. The spinnaker is a large, rounded and usually very colourful sail that can be raised when sailing downwind (ie sailing in the same direction as the wind) to give extra power and hence speed.
