Photo Finish
 |
|
July 21 2008 - Wairere finishes with style during
the 2008 Screwpile Lighthouse Challenge on the
Chesapeake. A fast boat, a slow shutter speed, a
steady hand and a funky reflection got together to
make this "different" shot happen. The Screwpile is
a fantastic regatta. Conditions were spectacular on
Sunday afternoon; the onshore activities were a
blast.

Leeward!
 |
|
July 13 2008 - A cormorant gives way to Project
Mayhem as they approach the windward mark on the
PHRF course at the 62nd Annual Red Grant Regatta on
the Raritan Bay. This shot was taken during the
lightest conditions of the weekend; both days
sailors saw at least 15 knots.

Glass and Haze
 |
|
July 7 2008 - You know it's summer on Long Island
Sound when this kind of stuff starts happening.
Today's JSA season opener was hot and hazy, but the
wind built throughout the day and the 2008 Law
Trophy got off to a good start. Tomorrow's wind
forecast is promising, as is the competition level
for the JSA this summer.

Bermuda or Bust
 |
|
June 20 2008 - The Chippewa crew looking happy just
after the start of the 2008 Newport to Bermuda
race. This race won't be around the island, but it
would be a travesty to sail around Bermuda and not
stop. Around 200 sets of crew will party on Bermuda
in a few days. See the photos of the yachts leaving
Newport
here. |
Around Again
 |
|
June 18 2008 - What can we say...going around the
island is a good idea! Here some of the many JBoats
participating in 2008 Block Island Race Week make a
Block Island lighthouse a great background for a
photo. We have some great photos from Tuesday and
Wednesday
here. |
Around the Island
 |
|
June 13 2008 - Columbia looks good as she sails
around Conanicut Island during the 2008 NYYC Annual
Regatta Around the Island Race. What a day for
photos! See them
here. |
Little Boats
 |
|
June 13 2008 - Is this a helicopter shot of
12meters? It looks like it, but pictured here are
2.4 meters during their Nationals at Noroton YC.

One Design
 |
|
June 8 2008 - There's nothing like One Design racing
and these J30s in tight competition prove that
point. This weekend's regatta at Cedar Point Yacht
Club hosted J30s, J105s, M30s, Express 37s and
J35s. The wind was on the lighter side, but
competition was heavy. See the 2008 Cedar Point YC
One Design regatta

Around Block
 |
May 23 - Avra looking good as she heads East away
from Stamford just after today's Block Island Race
start. For the 2008 Block Island Race, the wind
died down throughout the evening, but even in just 8
knots all 101 boats were looking beautiful. The
photos will make you wish you were out on the
water.
|
Man vs. Dinghy
 |
May 17 2008 - Flying Squirrel heads right for the
lens on his way to the weather mark in today's J24
Nationals action off of Staten Island. Conditions
built to absolute perfection late today, with big
seas, serious wind, and bright sunlight. What a
day! For complete results, go to the
J24
Nationals 2008 site.
The photos are a must see. Check them out here.

17 One Designs
 |
April 27 2008 - The Melges 24 fleet mixes in with
the J30s during today's action at the 2008 Sperry
Topsider Annapolis NOOD, hosted by Sailing World and
Annapolis Yacht Club. Today's weather was cold and
gray, but there was no lack of breeze for all 17 One
Design fleets racing on the Chesapeake.
See more 2008 Annapolis NOOD photos here. |
Easterly
 |
April 26 2008 - There's nothing like an Easterly on
Long Island Sound, and the AYC Spring Series sailors
were bundled up for cold, windy conditions during
the first regatta of the season. Spring Series
continues next weekend as well.
The American Yacht Club Spring Series Photos are a
must see. |
|
Layline
 |
April 20 2008 - Melges 24 Firewater on the layline with more
boats and the Charleston skyline behind them during
Charleston Race Week's 2008 action on the inside course.
Two other courses were set outside Charleston Harbor and
everybody enjoyed sunshine, periods of high wind, and
Southern hospitality.

Flying Scots Flying
March 25 2008 - The Flying Scots saw some heavy breeze for their
Midwinters on Tampa Bay. The 15-20 knots from the Southwest
brought in big seas from the Gulf of Mexico and these sailors
were flying downwind and getting soaked upwind. Not quite lake
sailing.
The photos are exciting. | |
3-2-1...
March 15 2008 - This Lightning looks like it's ready for
lift-off on Tampa Bay today during the 61st Annual St.
Petersburg Lightning Championships, the final stop on the
Lightning Southern Circuit. The sailors were surfing downwind
and plowing into the chop upwind today, with a stiff breeze and
a choppy Bay to make things even more interesting for the
69-boat fleet with one start. Check out
the photos. | |
Grand Day at Grand Prix
March 8 2008 - Conditions couldn't have been better today as a
cold front brought some clear air and fresh offshore breeze to
the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Miami Beach and Key
Biscayne. In fact, this year's Acura Miami Grand Prix had some
of the best conditions sailors and photographers can hope for.
Be sure to take a look at
the photos. |

Roll Tack
March 3 2008 - This Thistle team shows us how it's done during a
light wind day on Tampa Bay in the midst of Thistle Midwinters
East. The Thistles enjoyed light breeze, opting not to go out
in 15-20 early in the week, but they had a gear buster on the
last day of the regatta.
More regatta photos here. | |
Laser Tag
February 22, 2008 - The course off of Clearwater was teaming
with Lasers today and the mark roundings were quite crowded.
Nothing like 15 knots of breeze and a lot of boats. The regatta
hosted Laser S, Radial and 4.7s and most of the competitors were
kids.
More regatta photos in the Regatta Gallery. | |
Team 7
February 14 2008 - Team 7 and their coach on their home court
today at Yngling Worlds. Miami is a great place for regattas,
even though the wind was on the lighter side today. Team 7 will
go on to China to represent the USA in the Olympics, as will
many other Yngling Teams here today from various parts of the
world. See our photos at
Yngling.org and
PhotoBoat Regatta Gallery. |

Does it get any better?...
February 10 2008 - A high performance dinghy regatta with 15-20
knots of breeze and clear skies on Tampa Bay; an event held at a
huge county park that receives America's Best Beach award
regularly. The only problem at 505 and A Cat Midwinters 2008:
it was too windy for the A Cats on this perfect day. But who
cares when the A Cat can fly a hull in 7 knots?

Far from One Design
Jan 27 2008 - A modified McGregor 65 crosses the starting line
between two schooners during the Schooner Wharf Bar Wrecker's
Race to Sand Key. The fleet is always a mix of modern racing
yachts, such as J24s from J World and race boats left over from
Key West Race Week, as well as the schooners that call Key West
Bight their home.

Key West 2008 Out with a Bang
Jan 25 2008 - Sun and wind make all the difference, for
photographers and racers alike. Conditions off of Key West were
perfect today, and the TP 52 Mayhem, pictured here, was loving
it just like everybody else. Today will be a great way to
remember 2008's Key West Race Week as we look forward to Key
West Race Week 2009.

Into the Sunset: Key West Thursday
Racing
Jan 24 2008 - With no racing on Wednesday due to lack of breeze,
and a similar situation on Thursday morning, race committee
called for a 12 noon harbor start and the wait was worth it. 10
knots rolled in around 2 pm and allowed the fleet to get two
much-needed races in. In this shot, the Temptress crew sets
their chute on the Div 4 course.

Key West Tuesday Racing
Jan 22 2008 - Finally some racing! Even though the sky was a
little grey we got some cool photos of the super competitive
Melges 24 class, J105 and more. Hopefully the weather will
behave for the rest of the week. We're looking forward to heavy
wind on Friday.

Key West Monday No Racing
Jan 21 2008 - No Racing today. The windy conditions were breaking
equipment left and right. Only a few boats decided to keep both
sails up on their way back to the harbor after learning of the
abandonment.
More regatta photos here. |

Key West Practice Day 024 31.76 N 081 50.03 W
Jan 20 2008 - With the coming of a cold front, the weather in the Keys
changed from a sunny Florida dream to a blustery, rainy reality. The
boats out practicing today were pushing their limits in gusts up to 29
knots just off of Key West. We caught some shots of a broaching Melges
and had to pull an MOB out of the water...that is Allen's second MOB
recovery in the last six months.
More photos here. |

One Mile Down, 159 to go...
Jan 16 2008 - Samba Pa Ti on their way to Key West just after the
start of the Ft Lauderdale to Key West Race. They ended up winning
overall. The conditions were amazing.

Looking Good on the Bay
Jan 12 2008 - The breeze was pretty light for the St. Petersburg
Yacht Club Multiclass Regatta, but these high performance boats
still looked good. Nothing like being able to get out on the trap
when there aren't even whitecaps.

photos in the Regatta Gallery. |
