Caption taped to back of frame: "Full or Collapsed, Spinnakers Reveal Skippers' Skill and Luck in Catching Light Breeze off Mount Desert Island, Maine. One sail (third from left) droops while a rival, 100 feet directly ahead, balloons with a fortunate puff. Hand on sheet, a crew member (second yacht from right) jockeys his sail as he would a horse's reins. Compact and sturdy, these are International Class sloops all built in Norway before the war. Here the Northeast Harbor fleet nears the finish line after an eight mile race. Four years of war have not stopped such races. (Courtesy Main Development Commission)" No date. [show more]
