“ . . . in the minute
brilliance of cloudless days, with broad bellying sails
they glide to the wind, tossing green water . . .
In a well guarded arena of open water surrounded by
lesser and greater craft . . . they appear youthful, rare
as the light of a happy eye, live with the grace
of all that in the mind is feckless, free and
naturally to be desired.”
––William Carlos Williams: The Yachts
