CentreBay Sept 2015-6495.jpg
This Labour Day long weekend I got to run a Dragon regatta from the dock at Alexandra Island. The boats would start right in front of me and sail up the course then down right past me on their way to the downwind mark. I love these Dragon class sailboats. They are a classic design from the 30s. Easy on the eyes with classic sloop lines and fine overhanging ends, I always say that when one sketches a sailboat on a napkin these are the boats that most closely resemble the sketch.
In this particular composition I really like the way the wake of water leads the eye to the closest boat.
Shot RAW with available light with my Fuji X100s and processed in Lightroom.
