I met the owner and went onboard in 2019, but he had no interest in the image. Now it’s changed hands.
Straight capture. Not a composite.

Love this Laura. I’m thinking to myself how you got such a great low perspective. Great work!
I really like this low, low perspective, Laura! I can’t recall seeing an image of sailboats without their hulls showing, but that’s what makes this so unique and interesting for me. The ocean swells seem so massive against the hull-less boats, kind of creating a sense of scale and how small the boats are compared to the big giant ocean. Beautiful work!
Sensational, Laura. What a wonderful scene. Makes me what to get a sailboat. 
@Alfredo_Mora Many thanks Alfredo! I must say, I didn’t expect any such result: it was a complete surprise. One of the best ones of my entire life, I might add…
@Mark_Muller Exactly what I wish to convey. You are spot on! Many thanks for your kind words, Mark. Much appreciated!
@David_Bostock Haha if a photo makes a viewer want to do something, then I consider it a good photo 
Many thanks, David. I’m really glad that you like it!
Absolutely gorgeous @LauraEmerson! the composition is spot on IMO and the tones of blue on that water just wraps the images as a whole. Great shot no doubt.
