The final design is nicely balanced, with the outlying sailors right and the boat left and the second boat gives depth, but I would have preferred a design with the boats coming towards the observer. The second design does that. I would have asked that the left boat be replaced with some gulls in flight and insisted on not changing the sail numbers. :)
