Almost sunken? Happily not. It's just an optical illusion due to the fact that both an image is two dimensional instead of three dimensional and to the waves caused by by the pretty high (choppy) sea state. Think it was the reason too that the skipper hasn't hoisted the sails of his 'Roodbaard' ('Red beard') Dutch sailing boat, but has chosen for the motorized propulsion mode now in order to reach safely his destination.

The image was taken at the North Sea off the Belgian coast.
