| Big
Boats Working to Windward off Nantucket |
| |
| At
the turn of the nineteenth century, the British love of sailing caught on
in America, where the elegant racing yachts began to show up in the northeastern
waters. Built for beauty and pleasure as well as competition, the yachts
were magnificent in their size and elegance. Later, as the America's Cup
came onto the scene, the passion for winning overwhelmed the sport, and
later built racing yachts were designed primarily for speed and efficiency,
strictly with a competative edge in mind. In this painting, the third in
the Jim Flood Series "The Great Age of the Big Boats", two of
the earlier sailing yachts are depicted engaging in sport well off the coast
of Nantucket. Both skippers are cutting it close, sailing very near to the
wind, but their judgement comes from years of experience. In just moments,
the yacht to the left of the viewer will pass within feet to leeward of
the teff rail of the yacht off her starboard bow; both will clear. Third
