Description
This image was taken at Lake Townsend which is one of our watershed lakes, one that is very large and is host to many sailboats and kayaks. I spotted this particular sailboat racing across the water at some distance against another sailboat. It was fun to watch the two compete. I took this image as this one turned toward me with full sail. This photo was taken with a Nikkor 55mm-300mm lens.
A sailboat or sailing boat is a boat propelled partly or entirely by sails. The generic term covers a variety of boats, larger than small vessels such as sailboards and smaller than sailing ships, but distinctions in the size are not strictly defined and what constitutes a sailing ship, sailboat, or a smaller vessel (such as a sailboard) varies by region and maritime culture. At present, a great number of sailboat-types may be distinguished. Apart from size, sailboats may be distinguished by a hull configuration (monohull, catamaran, trimaran), keel type (full, fin, wing, centerboard etc.), purpose (sport, racing, cruising), number and configuration of masts, and sail plan. Although sailboat terminology has varied across history, many terms now have specific meanings in the context of modern yachting.

My family used to sell sail boats on the side when I was a child. My brother and I had the joy of trying them out on on the lakes. Love this breeze filled capture Sandi!
