About the shot :

The 6m open boat Chryssopigi heading home from Paros to Aegina after winning her class at the 2014 Cyclades Classic Yacht Race. The photo was taken on 15 July 2014 in the Aegean Sea (half way between Paros and Aegina, actually!) The boat is based on a traditional Greek fishing boat from the island of Hydra, known as a Hydraiki, and was built in wood by Nikos Daroukakis in 2003-04.
