Large dark hulled schooner in Solent?

[Sharky34]

Have noticed a very large dark hulled schooner (black?) sailing out of Hurst & out through Needles Channel several times recently.
Anyone know what it is.

I'm taking a wild guess here; but based on something that turned up on my instagram feed earlier this week, there's a reasonable possibility it's an Andre Hoek design which was named 'Skylge' at launch, then renamed 'This is Us', and now called 'Seabiscuit' else. Seems the poor thing is destined never not to have a name that is either unpronounceable or a bit daft.

Does this look like it might be the beastie?

Seabiscuit? She has been mooching about the Solent for at least the last couple of months. Based in Ocean Village I believe.

Could well be, only seen from a distance, thought it was 2 yachts because of the larger mizzen, then realised it was big & a schooner rig.

She seems a bit basic to me ?
