Wooden Ketch DQ1.
My knowledge of sailing boats is extremely limited so I stand to be corrected if my description of DQ1 as a Ketch is incorrect because she might be a Yawl. The distinction between the two types of sailing boat appears to be the amount of sail carried on the Mizzen (small) mast relative to the size of the main sail. Irrespective of the differences between Ketch and Yawl, I managed to photograph DQ1 in September 2017 as she sailed at a leisurely pace down the River Test Southampton towards the Solent. Sadly I could not see any other markings on her hull. A beautiful yacht on a fine morning.
