For photos of beautiful, still-inhabited locales! It can be a quick snapshot of your local town, a breathtaking pro photo of a city, or a pic of some fascinating piece of modern life.
The only real rule is that it must be an actively inhabited/used location (ie not ruins or natural locales). Otherwise, go wild. Anything that you find beautiful or interesting!

Beautiful, but the first thing to come to mind: "That looks like an accident waiting to happen"
You would assume:
wind going same direction for everyone, and everyone in same direction
low speed
motors also on.
Its no more crowded than a race prestart, but without the need for competition.
You forgot to include alcohol!
Seriously, though, it just appears to me that it wouldn't take much to turn that situation into a tragedy but I don't know a darn thing about sailing. I went one a few charity motorcycle rides and they felt the same: too many people who's abilities are unknown and mostly likely more than a few who were drinking.
