Wooden Ketch. Sail Number 908.
A very recent image of a Wooden Ketch being sailed hard across the Solent Southampton in extremely strong winds. I have no idea as to her name because I have never found a publicly accessible on-line database of sail number. The image was captured at a distance from my position on the deck of the Red Funnel car ferry Red Eagle and has been cropped to bring out the features. Use of a zoom lens has flattened the image to suggest she was about to be broached by the sea whereas subsequent images in the sequence shows her continuing to sail in an Easterly direction.
