“Room At The Mark” depicts the schooner Adventurer rounding the last turning mark in the 2022 Gloucester Schooner Festival Race. Brilliant had rounded the mark wide and left us an opening that we shot through. Columbia had already rounded the mark and was tacking to get on the final course to the finish. I remember looking up from my position on the port side and seeing a huge wall of white sails ahead. My intent was to depict the excitement and stress of a close quarter maneuver at the buoy and recall the massive white wall of canvas our schooner sailed into.
