This photo was taken on the North Sea off the Belgian coast. The Belgian sailors were, to a certain extent, in difficulty because the jib rope (a rope on the underside of the jib that keeps it on tension and determines whether the jib blows out to starboard or port) was broken loose or broken.

Because the skipper managed to maneuver the boat to somewhat quieter water, no external assistance was required.

That yacht has a good speed with the strong wind coming from starboard quarter. Difficult to control in that wind with the jib out of action. Nice action shot Cornelius.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.

Love the composition with the sailboat in the foreground and all the other ships in the background.
It looks like a busy place SEA.
I enjoyed your narrative and also Raj's. I felt like I was eavesdropping on a couple of Old Sea Dogs.

Really rough water and his front sail looks like it's going crazy. Could yo tell if he was under wind power or of the motor power also?

Pat,

referring to your question above, although this boat has an Diesel engine, in this case it was only 'propulsed' by wind power.

Terrific maritime scene Mr. C. - different kinds of vessels and somewhat rough seas!
