Competitive sailing dinghy racing, in the estuary of the River Exe, south coast of Devon, southwest England, Great Britain.

---

This image shows a class of single-hander boat called an RS Aero racing in the estuary of the River Exe, Devon, Great Britain. The wind's force on the sails tends to make the boat want to lean over. The crew are able to prevent this by using their weight to balance the boat, in this instance 'sitting out' as far as they can.
