The image showcases a group of sleek and elegant 6 Metre boats engaged in a fierce competition on the open waters. The skilled sailors expertly maneuver their vessels with precision as they navigate through the waves. With their Bermuda rigs billowing in the wind, these sailing yachts showcase both grace and power.
