where did you find the photo?
There is a link in the post to Flickr
its an X one design. Classic wooden class sailed on the south coast of the uk. See http://www.xonedesign.org.uk/
Its XOD 37 Ariel steered by looks like its on her return from Cowes Week to her home port of Poole steered by Hugh Deavin. The class was designed by A Westmacott in 1908 with the first race in 1911.
no way its an X i was sailing mine today and look on the mast the is (forgot whats its called) one of those things that push the side stays out to the side like a MC or C or E or like anything else.
It looks like a Rustler 24 to me
