Depicted is the 'Nettie', a traditional (built in 1911) Dutch round bottomed sailing yacht of the 'Lemsteraak' type. The former queen of The Netherlands (now 'princess' Beatrix) owns a similar yacht with the name 'Groene Draeck' (Green Dragon). Because I couldn't find relevant information in the English language about the 'Nettie', I'll provide you with a LINK about the 'Groene Draeck' to know some of its general characteristics (for those who have interest in it).

Hope you'll like this image. Thanks in advance for your comment.

PS: in the Geordie language 'Nettie' stands for a toilet. Referring to some comments below, it may be clear that this 'Nettie' has nothing to do with it. 'Nettie' is the first name of the wife of its first owner. She has baptized this yacht as well.

Obviously you captured this beautiful shot on a perfect day. The colors and the clarity are spot on, and that sky is what I would love to have every time! Superb work, Mr. C.

She's a beautiful sailboat and your image suits her well, Cornelius. I'd be willing to bet the owners of Nettie would love to have this photo. Bravo.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

If you stare at an orange juice container because it says, "CONCENTRATE"...you might be a redneck.

This is a strikingly beautiful shot Mr.C - as you might imagine sailboats are quite popular in the Chicago area due to Lake Michigan but of course none like this.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Cornelius - Simply outstanding photography. 'Nettie' is displayed full sail in a manner that shows her well. Kudos on more excellent work, my friend. ~Thad
