Thank you for starting things off Rich and I see what you are saying about portrait shots and tall masts.  I also agree it is too busy,  I have cropped the harbour wall in a bit which the chap was starting to steer around.

Manning you have a good point about the man looking out of the frame. I had overlooked that point. A few minutes later and he had altered course and steered to the right as someone called to him from another boat.  That was the shot I should have taken. I think your crop works just as well as Rich's.

Thank you both, a good start I think.
