Competitive sailing dinghy racing, in the estuary of the River Exe, south coast of Devon, southwest England, Great Britain.
The image shows a catamaran of the Hurricane class with its spinnaker just being 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.
