A quayside view looking down on the stern and cockpit of the sloop Idlevice of Kip and the sloop Laga moored on the River Tyne during the Cutty Sark Tall Ships Race in July 1993. Idlevice of Kip's name can be seen on the liferaft container on the after deck of the yacht, and on a banner along the port guardrails. A grey rubber dinghy is attached to the stern davits. The deck of the sloop is coloured light blue and two women can be seen sitting on the starboard side of the vessel. Moored on the Idlevice of Kip's starboard side is the Dutch sloop Laga, whose name is present on a dark blue banner attached to the port railings and on a yellow poster attached to the mast.
