Hi Adam,
Nice image, Your composition and framing are excellent and the image is nice and crisp. I like the fact that you were able to catch the reflection of the sail on the water, the colors blend in nicely not over done. I think trying a polarizing or warming polar would have been nice here adding a little zip to a rather bland sky. Also as we can see they are sailing but I just don't get the feel of motion here. I know there wasn't much wind there but getting this same shot with the boat in it's yore would give us that feel of motion & make the image complete. Finally the title here falls a little short, obviously we have some wind present.

I like the guy looking straight up the mast.

seems to me that they have wind. Good photo, but it does not seem to connect to the challenge well...

I am not a good photographer, I do not claim to be better than anyone, any criticism is meant to be constructive criticism......

There is some wind, or the sail wouldn't be billowed. Good focus and clarity, Lovely colors. Would have loved to see more of the reflection.
