Sailing boat, bow wave (close perspective)

Bow wave of a ~8m sailing boat in calm water, close micing. No sounds from the sail (could just as well be a motor boat depending on what you layer the sound with ;) )

There is also recording with a more distant perspective of the bow wave.

Recorded with a ~30cm AB pair of Neumann KM183 on a Tascam HD-P2, 48kHz, 24bit.
