The vehicles carrier 'Hoegh Yokohama' (IMO: 9185451) was captured by me off the Belgian coast on her way to the Belgian port of Antwerp.
By checking-out the link above one can find some characteristics of this ship. The height however isn't given. My estimate that it's about 33 meters from the water line until the primary, main or upper deck and is about 47 meters from the water line to the top of the mast on the upper deck. High enough however to cause the temporary lack of wind for the passing sailboat, hence my title.

Well timed photo showing the yacht in comparison to the high car carrier. I have never been on a car carrier and have always wondered how they react when the wind goes up to force 9 Cornelius.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
You can see the ramp where they most likely unload the vehicles SEA. Great title and wonderful capture of the sailboat for perspective.
I wonder how many are on the crew?
I see where it headed for San Juan, Puerto Rico.
What a great shot.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
A wind behind her will give her an extra 5 Knots....R.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

Tick (OFT), for this type of vessel usually 24 persons.
Best regards, SEA, ⚓

Really nice perspective to make your point Mr.C.

The Amen of nature is always a flower .... Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
That is a great comparison. That ship is absolutely gigantic. I'm sure the sailboat has some sort of propulsion to get it on its way. It is always an adventure with your camera work, Cornelius.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
