That can be easily photoshopped out to make a very good picture indeed! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Maybe the genoa sheet lead could do with being 10-12" further forward......

...despite the Cornish flag /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
j/k
I remember sailing with SWMBO in Carrick Roads in our GP14 in the early 90's, it was misty so we were keeping an eye out. We heard this boat approaching and out of the mist came PenDuick in full sail, heeled way over and going like the clappers. She was absolutely gorgeous, I thought she deserved some sort of acknowledgement so I just hove to, stood up, and I think I bowed, didn't know what else to do. Got a wave from the man himself and then she disappeared into the mist. Wish I'd got a photo, the image is etched into my memory.
I think I may have posted that before, apologies if I'm getting old and repetitive...

Looks like Pinuccia, British International 8 metre out of St Mawes.

Nothing wrong with the 'Cornish flag' - its just that its being flown from the wrong place. Starboard cross trees would have been correct with a Red Ensign proudly worn on the stern? Perhaps the size of the black and white thing might have been adjusted a bit in these circumstances.

Sunbeam? Carrick Roads, Falmouth?

Definately. Belonging to the Tresanton hotel in St Mawes. Once owned by Mussolini himself apparently.

Not correct strictly speaking. He encouraged the build, which was for the 8m championships, where I think she came second.
Featured in one of the colour supplements recently. Owned by Rocco Forte's sister Olga and available to guests at her hotel.

I thought a Corby 29, or a West Solent, Or East Coast One design?
But there you go what do I know?
[--word removed--] All by the looks of it, but they are all similar.

I'd have thought the underlined 8 would have given it away - like the underlined 12 on the 12 metres. If she had a sail number I'm sure we could have looked up a name.

To be more pedantic - that is not a genoa.
