About the shot :
I was shooting the manoeuvre on the bow with my 100-500 and the sailors had almost completed the peel, I knew they had to drop the old sail back into the locker so I quickly went down to my gear kit and changed lens. I got in position just as Conrad jumped down the hatch followed by a massive wave. Was this photo worth the amount of bailing I had to do afterwards? We'll see.
Camera :
Canon R5, 24-70mm f/2.8, 640, 4.5 , 1/800
