This one is taken on a regatta on the Lake of Veere, Zeeland, The Netherlands, held on July 20th, 2019.
In order to determine who's the winner of this regatta, the participants have to sail several times a 'track'. The start and end of such a track is marked with a buoy. After passing the buoy, one has to sail in the opposite direction. In some of my images of this series therefore one can see that some boats are sailing in the opposite direction. The boat that comes first to the finish (after sailing the determined number of tracks) is not automatically the winner. Because the boats vary in size and have different sail area, first must be determined, after a complicated calculation, who really is the winner.

Good photo of this tough competition between these two boats. I suppose they are the ones right in front of the others.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
A fine photo Cornelius, with a real sense of movement

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Good capture, Cornelius. You really show it in a way that captures the movement perfectly.

I like the wind turbine peeking over the treetops SEA. It is probably checking to see if it can be of assistance.
Great shot of the sail boats.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
This is so crisp and clear, and very well composed! tigs=^..^=

Wonderful shot, Cornelius. To be on the water today is a real prize.
