About the shot :

I always have great access as official photographer for the New York Yacht Club Annual Regatta and feel very lucky. The round the Conanicut Island Race is a classic regatta and abounds with opportunities to use the backgrounds or extreme close ups. My spinnaker take-downs are well known, since this is my favorite angle for the last 53 years of my sailing career. On special occasions I like to enhance the effect by switching to black-and-white photography.

Camera :

Canon EOS-1D X Mark II, 100-400mm, 500, f 8 , 1/2500
