Description: This vintage commemorative postage stamp from Grenada features a horizontal rectangular format with clean white perforated edges. The central artwork illustrates a dynamic maritime racing scene, capturing several multi-manned sailing yachts cuts through a turquoise sea under a clear sky, with a lush green tropical coastline visible in the background. The prominent vessel in the foreground displays a towering white mainsail and a billowed spinnaker sail featuring bold, alternating horizontal stripes of yellow and dark blue. To its left, another competing yacht flies a contrasting bright orange-red spinnaker sail. Inscribed at the top left are the iconic five interlocking Olympic rings directly above the text "MUNICH 1972", while the lower-left corner bears a fractional "1/2c" denomination marker. The country name "GRENADA" is printed in large, dark blue block letters across the bottom right, balanced by a finely detailed, black-and-white portrait profile of a young Queen Elizabeth II wearing a royal tiara in the upper-right corner.
