New boat show shotley marina 26-27 april

Was the Oyster 47 the shiny new white one with the big red ensign that headed down the Orwell under motor and at speed on Sunday morning passing Woolverstone at about 10.45? I would have guessed that one was quite a lot bigger. We tacked away from it in our dinghy as I did not think that they could avoid us at that speed. My 9 year old asked why sailing boats needed such big engines....
