Hi

"Close hauled" is when the sails and boom pulled in tight to the center of the boat. This enables the boat to point as high as possible to the direction the wind is coming from.

Thank you for looking. I hope you enjoy the view.

Hi,

I was hoping someone would post a sailing shot, and I like this one a lot. Nice composition. Good luck this week.

Nice shot, WB!
You may want to straighten the horizon line, as the right side is a tad lower than the left.
Good luck this week!

It's nice to know that somewhere in the world it wasn't 10 below zero this past week. Beautiful photo, I really like it.

Nice and simple shot. I also think the water line should be straightened, but it's not that bad. I like the B&W conversion.

Great entry,
Chad

Nicely done. I was waiting for a boat shot. I really like the B & W, nice tones. Reminds me of some of the high end photos I have seen for sell. Kind of has a Ralph Lauren feel. I agree with the comments about the horizon line. Good luck.
