Golden Vanity.
There are a number of Internet Web sites that provide information and stories about the life and history of the Gaff Rigged Cutter Golden Vanity featured in this image but for me the most informative was a full length article about her on the Yachting World Web site. Golden Vanity was built in Devon in 1908 for a well known marine artist, as one of the Mumble Bee Class of boats constructed by her builder. 114 years later she is used for chartering and sail training based in and around the Solent and the Port of Southampton. This image of her was captured in July 2022 when she was sailing close to Cowes Isle of Wight presumably as part of the Cowes Regatta.
