Not the best position to be in. Congratulations on your top 20 finish with this intriguing capture.

Without the descriptive title I'm not too sure this clearly meets the challenge but I like to be open-minded about the subtlies of these things...
I think I would enjoy this more if there was some activity around the boat---people lpreparing to set sail, for example. Either that, some sort of animal life form, like a gull perched on the mast or pecking around the sand (darn those pesky birds for not accommodating your photography!). The boat itself isn't quite enough of a grabber for me in terms of subject matter. I understand using the vertical format to capture the masts (not sure if that's the right term) but I feel like this p.o.v. is a bit cramped. I would like to see more of an expanse of shoreline in the distance to really give me a sense of place (is this a beach with a rocky shoreline or gentle grass covered slopes?). I don't get the feeling of spaciousness of the seaside.
There is a lot of potential in this shot. There is the beginning of a nice mood and I do get a feeling of early morning light in this photo.

Nice subject. The composition/cropping at the top is a bit too tight.

Good shot. More space for the mast at the top would have improved it Imo

I would have liked some more color or something in the boat. But I really like the concept and image overall.

Interesting. Too early? Seems like to late.

It is rather rare that one sees a failed boat. Beautiful framing but can be with less before plan

Nice catch, I don't live near the ocean but I would imagine this isn't very common. I like the angle you chose, gives it more character than a straight on shot.

Since I live in the Caribbean, this looks familiar. A good photo.

Or too late to fix a screwup ... lol ... could have gone both ways with this. Technically the photo is exceptional, I just hope the voters get it.

This is good, actually very good. I think you have captured the spirit of the challenge with a very high quality image, well done.

Nice enough. Flat lighting though.
Also maybe step forward and make the space below the hull and the space above the mast a little more equal.

Colours look a little drained, I'd like to see more of a sunrise etc. therefore the photo doesn't give a great deal of feeling.
