Charleston Race Week Photos 2010

With around 140 boats ranging from Melges 24s to J105s to racer-cruisers (just because you have a bimini doesn't mean you can't race), Charleston Race Week is quite an event. Charleston is one of our favorite cities and it's great to have a reason to come here every year. In 2007, we arrived by sailboat and spent the week at Charleston Maritime Center. It doesn't get much better than that, but this year we were still happy to be here.

Racing was tight on all three courses for 2008. The sea breeze kicked up in the afternoons, so mornings were spent waiting for it (and sometimes drifting backwards because of the ripping current in Charleston Harbor), but the wait was worth it- especially for the photos.

The city is beautiful and the buildings and the bridge provide great backgrounds for photos on the inside course.

We had a great time at Salty Mikes, where Sailing Anarchy threw another great party complete with a slideshow of our photos.

This regatta marks the beginning of our 2008 summer season (which includes Spring and Fall) and we're looking forward to another great season of sailing photos on Long Island Sound, the Chesapeake Bay, Newport area, and more.
