Full titles read: "Woman's Speed Boat Challenge - First pictures of Miss Carstairs'... hitherto secret motor-boats... fitted with 1,000 h.p. Saunders-Napier aero engines... to recapture Trophy held by America for Britain."

East Cowes, Isle of Wight, Hampshire.

Side and rear of a new speedboat. This and another speedboat side by side on the quayside as men unhook ropes from under the boats. Miss Carstairs is seen sitting in one boat with a man in a cap; two other men sit in the boat next to them. Miss Carstairs in the boat as she smokes a cigarette - she looks quite mannish, in a masculine jacket and short hair cut.
