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


This image shows a catamaran of the Hurricane class racing in the estuary of the River Exe, in Devon, southwest England, Great Britain. The force of the wind on the sails tends to lift one of the hulls clear of the water, something the crew can counter by moving their weight as far to the boat's windward side as possible.
