Two boats were displayed inside an Isle of Wight church during Cowes Week as part of a community arts trail.
The Fusion dinghies were loaned to St Mary’s Church in Cowes by maritime charity UKSA.
The display formed part of the Cowes Group Ministry’s Wind and Wonder trail, and supported UKSA’s Try Sailing campaign.
Rev Elizabeth Moxley, associate priest at St Mary’s, said: "We are so grateful to UKSA for lending us the two Fusion dinghies.

"They were a wonderful spectacle and quite a surprise for St Mary's congregation and our many visitors during Cowes Week.
"They certainly provided us all with a sense of both 'Wind and Wonder'."
The trail encouraged visitors and residents to explore all four churches in the Cowes area during one of the town’s busiest weeks.
St Mary’s also hosted a pop-up cafe serving cream teas and light lunches, alongside an exhibition by the Cowes Art Group.
Chris Buckett, church warden, said: "St Mary’s has been an integral part of Cowes in various ways since 1657, and had involvement in Cowes Week for the past 200 years.
