About the Giclee Edition: These prints are produced using state-of-the-art digital printing methods. The fidelity to the original offered by this method is outstanding - this is as close to holding the original painting as you can get! The process is slow and meticulous. As a result there will be far fewer prints in these editions. Only archival inks are used, assuring longevity. Each print is hand signed and numbered in the image. Prints on canvas include a generous two inch border for your frame shop to stretch the canvas. The America's Cup defender Puritan is shown with her topmast and gaff topsail stowed, overtaking the British challenger Genesta in this quintessential yacht racing print. Mecray has skillfully painted the challenger laboring under too much sail for the wind conditions while Puritan surges ahead in the deciding race of the fifth defense of the America's Cup in 1885.
