Detail. Notice how the shadow in the sail moves from cool grey to warm grey. That's because the sky is reflected more in the inner curved surface there. The subtle gradation in the light shape from light to darker helps create the effect of the scooped sail. The section at the top (A) tilts down and reflects the warm light from the sunlit sail and the deck of the boat.
