Classic sailing

Down at the Harbour in Oamaru, the Sailing Regatta held interest mainly for the classic style of boats. Most of these boats were hand made by their owners and all keen to see how they race. This one had a square sail and of unusual colour.

Three good things:
1. Only got one knee sandy and wet.
2. Interested in several types of exposure while I shot these water scenes.
3. Decided that I prefer colder temperatures when out for a hill walk.

Love the colors of the sail.

[Maggiemae]

@yonnie not that cold, Yvonne! Or summer at the moment is like the high we have in winter!

[Maggiemae]

@taffy the sides of this vessel were very low. Taffy! One would think the waves would get in!

[Maggiemae]

@annbo thanks Ann - sometimes you have to see the funnier side of events!

[Pat Knowles]

That beautiful sail dominates the photo......has a sort of warmed by the sun feel......messing about in a boat, just bliss when you are sea lovers. You are lucky to live near the sea but specially as you seem to have a lovely harbour to shelter in.

I like how the color of the sail is echoed in the hills and the shore.

[8yearson]

I like how you have composed this shot Maggie, with the sail right in the middle. Draws the eye right in, and the colours are really harmonious and soft, lovely!

[Lisa Pouncy]

@tristansmum A bit Monet, do you think!

[Morné Grewe]

stunning!

[Sheila G]

A great capture, lovely colours

[❀ Lynn]

Cool looking boat...I like its colours. I wonder if they are boat kits or just hand-made in the 'old' style.

[Heidi Parnell]

looks almost vintage in its processing, great shot!

[Harry J Benson]

good composition and colours, looks like it will be relaxing

[Darlene]

Nice shot, Maggiemae. Love your three good things. I forget to mention that as you have been doing this for some time. Sorry I am behind on commenting. I have no idea how many keep up.

[Anita Russell]

Reminds me of our Cornish Coble, a classic gaff rigged dinghy. Lovely.
