Summer visitors

With the yachting season in full swing there are some interesting boats on the river

 

 

Above I think this is an Excalibur 36, I love yachts of this type and era and especially from E.G Van de Stadt, despite their age and lack of accommodation compared to a modern yacht of same size they sail so well and handle the sea

 

Arrow the West Solent One design spotted a few years ago on the hard in Emsworth

From traditional to ultra modern Farr X2 I think, designed as a high-performance, short-handed racer, with a low drag, scow type hull profile and wildly sloping bow.

Above and below the Open 50 Pegasus of Northumberland, presumably when the photo was taken ready for the Around the Island Race
