This weekend marks the 167th edition of the oldest sailing competition in North America. Hosted by the New York Yacht Club in Newport RI. It began on Friday with a circumnavigation of Conanicut Island (Jamestown), and continues with several races through Sunday June 13th. Photo opportunities were ideal on Friday as the wind was out of the Northeast allowing for colorful Jennaker or spinnaker flying on all legs of the race. I was able to capture several shots of individual boats in various stages of competition but the attached photo is one of my personal favorites. It shows a group of four yachts approaching the Beavertail mark ( just out of the view on the right). The boats were close to each other as no captain wants to lose time by leaving too much water to the mark. Of course the telephoto lens compresses the view even more so they look like they are about to collide.

Nice capture. Man, these are beautiful boats! IMHO, the lighting on the shot could be tweaked, maybe brightened up a bit and shadows reduced. But what a spectacle.
