The annual contest picks the top 80 sailing photographs from sailing regattas that year. Then, with the help of an international jury and a online public vote, the images are whittled down to a shortlist of 20, and finally to a single winner.

'I liked this image at first sight, and it deserves to win,' says Jesus Renedo, a world-renowned professional photographer and member of the international jury.

'For us photographers, the most difficult thing is not to take a picture, but everything that leads to it.

'In Ricardo's case, I can only imagine that he had to convince the following boat driver and other passengers to get away from Scallywag when she arrived in Lisbon, in order to capture the boat's dark silhouette in the last rays of the sun, while still identifying her.

'It is definitely a winning image, taken by a great photographer.'

Eloi Stichelbaut of France took the Yacht Racing Forum award, presented by the delegates of the Yacht Racing Forum, while Hungarian Brigi Török won the public prize, with more than 10,000 votes counted.
