Funny you should mention Antigua. I thought something more like Gloria, Pete Townshend's schooner, which at 126 feet still looks small in English Harbour.
Gloria has RCYC on her transom so perhaps you and Pete are fellow members of the Royal Cornwall?
The very small boat being hauled out belongs to me, with yours truly looking on slightly apprehensively, bottom right. Gloria is also in the right background.
