Belladonna.
I know nothing about the racing yacht Belladonna GBR1346R featured in this image. Her name intrigues me because in Italian it means beautiful woman although that is in fact two words. The single word Belladonna is the name of the poisonous plant Deadly Nightshade. I prefer to believe that beautiful woman is the proper translation of her name. The yacht at her stern with the orange hull was called Sensation. The image shows Belladonna approaching the Bembridge Ledge Cardinal Buoy.
