This print captures a historic moment in the world of sailing. Taken in February 1937 during the 11th annual Mid-Winter Regatta in Los Angeles, California, it showcases two magnificent yachts, Prelude and Yucca, engaged in a fierce competition. The eight meter yacht race is at its peak as these elegant vessels glide through the water with sheer grace and power. The image perfectly encapsulates the spirit of competitive sailing as both teams put forth their utmost effort to outmaneuver each other. Against the backdrop of Southern California's picturesque coastline, this monochromatic snapshot transports us back to an era when wind power ruled over modern technology.
