The fleet of DN's is out on the ice, rigged and ready to race. The skippers, bundled and ready to face the icy blast that will hit them when their boat reaches speeds of 80 and 90 miles per hour, head out to their boats to race. The grey ice and the grey sky give the scene a serious mood, which is just as well--these folks are serious about their racing!

This detail from the image shows how the figures and the boats are simplified into areas of soft color, fitting the soft light and textures of the air and the ice.
