The image showcases three magnificent vessels from the renowned 6 Metre class - Lanka, Wamba, and Stella - as they fiercely compete on a reaching leg. With their sleek bermuda rigs cutting through the water, these sailing yachts epitomize elegance and power. The scene unfolds off the coast of Cowes, England, during a breezy summer day.
