This is a nice exposure with excellent detail and a good range of tones, but the composition is too cluttered and static for my taste. Maybe a wider view might have worked better. Another thing you might want to consider would be adding some people to the composition. The addition of a skipper and a mate or two, messing around on deck with lines and other sailor stuff, might result in a much more interesting photo.

Nice capture and great focus. I think that the contrast is lacking just a bit, leaving the image looking just a little flat. Perhaps a slight curves adjustment would remedy that small complaint.
