must be photoshop surely! especially with the prop wash coming from the camera boat and how the sea is flat with no spray on near the camera.

Look at the angle of the waves amd the shape of the leech; the sail is not sheeted hard, as they are not sailing hard on the wind.

Again look at the luff curve.  Main is not on that tight, also look at the angle of the boom.  It's not in the center !

Maybe you missed the point, "the unsinkable Titanic" was built by a large number of professional engineers boat builders, etc.It sunk.

The ark (if the story is correct) was built by one lone amateur and survived the worlds worst storm. It ran aground .
