Then drill down into JP Morgan RTI Race - part 2, and JPG 0569.
A DF28 near the Needles I think.

No, that one had black (carbon?) main and a racy stripe on the hulls.
Check out this DF under water:

It's not underwater. It's a swell in the foreground, and the perspective is flattened by a telephoto lens.

I figured the same thing before reading more posts.
The red flag's flying back indicating closehauled, and the spray off the ama is going back as well.
Nobody looks alarmed, just watching sail trim.
