Picture of the day

Yacht racing is a sport in which yachts and larger sailboats are raced. Modern yacht racing emerged in the 18th century, and attempts to standardize rules began in the 1800s. Depicted here is the start of the 2013 Cabo San Lucas Race, in which the yachts are raced from Newport Beach, California, to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.Photograph: D Ramey Logan
