 Berthed at Southampton Ocean Village you can see the commercial docks in the background.

 The above and below pictures were taken from the Isle of Wight ferry on my way to Cowes. Velsheda was chartered by groups of people to experience sailing on a J Class yacht.
 The above picture of Velsheda you can see a Moody 44 yacht sailing along gives you some idea of scale.
In the background you can see some of Southampton commercial docks.
