Red Funnel hydrofoil "Shearwater 6" Southampton Water (#11873)
Red Funnel hydrofoil "Shearwater 6" in seen on Southampton Water near Hamble on 6 August 1988. She was built by Cantière Navale Rodriguez and entered service in May 1982. She served the company until displaced by high speed catamaran in 1998. These hydrofoils were an exciting method of crossing between Southampton and the Isle of Wight but their success meant that larger vessels were needed and these did not provide the same experience.
