I think the second is better than the first (brighter, straighter horizon, no people in the foreground) but it is a shame you missed the top of the masts. You should be able to pick up something like when reviewing on the camera - find some shade (so the screen isn't overpowered by the sun) and zoom in a bit, looking round the edges of the picture to make sure everything is covered.

You might be able to get a usable image by cropping in closer at the bottom and back of the boat (and perhaps cloning out a couple of distractions at the bottom so that it looks like it might be sailing out to see rather than pointing towards the quay) but I think it would have been better to get the whole thing in the viewfinder.

If you are often cutting things off, spend a while deliberately framing a bit wider. That will give you scope to crop back later and you should find that your eye for what needs to be in frame improves so you can later return to framing in camera.
