Steb. I am very impressed with your level of photography. Growing up with sailors and knowing how difficult these shots are to perfect. Good job yet again!

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important.

That was going to be my next question as well. How are you taking these arial shots?

"Violence is the last resort of the incompetent" (I. Asimov)
To answer a few of the questions here. The pink one is not having trouble - it has just rounded the orange mark and is in the process of raising its spinnaker, which then takes a moment to fill - possibly a bit slow, but certainly no trouble.
The shot is taken from a light plane (a Cessna 172 for those interested). My son is training to be a pilot and sets me up with one of his instructors. We take the window off and I shoot as he circles above the fleet. Over water our minimum allowed altitude is 500 feet and this is where we stay. Great fun! I have to be careful not to let the lens get into the propwash - it tends to shake around a bit!!!! The shots are taken at about f5.6 and 1/1500.
