"The Leukemia Cup Regatta (LCR), a national fundraising campaign
sponsored by The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, is a great opportunity for
sailing racing and boating clubs can support The Leukemia & Lymphoma
Society's fight against blood cancers. Fully branded Leukemia Cup
Regatta events include a one-day sailboat race in which participants
sail, crew or cheer while raising funds for the fight against blood
cancers. After the regatta, participants enjoy a fun party, raffles, and
an awards ceremony - when the top fundraising boat will be awarded the
prestigious Leukemia Cup. Clubs can also support LLS by raising funds at
their own regattas and events, and donating them to this important
cause." -

Allen and Daniela cover
most of the major sailing
regattas on the East Coast, USA.
They are dedicated to
providing the finest on-the-
water and shore side
photography anywhere.
 
Allen and Daniela use their own
customized RIBs to zoom around the race course while
photographing most events. They are harnessed in from the
bow and hold on to a long tiller extension. This enables the
photographers to put themselves exactly where they want to
be to get the right shot, without getting in the way or
creating a large wake.
About the Photographers
Crazy? It’s
been suggested. Allen and Daniela call it a good day at the
office when they come in soaking wet, sunburned, and
exhausted. In business since 2005, this young
couple from Connecticut has proven that there’s a method to
the madness. Going out in 11.5’ RIBs in every sea condition,
just like they learned while working in the BVI (www.YachtShotsBVI.com),
Allen and Daniela skillfully maneuver themselves to the
magic spots to get the killer shots.
Strange career choice? Yep. With
college degrees from Georgetown and Uconn in their back
pockets and USCG Masters licenses in their hands, Allen and
Daniela opted out of cubicle culture and headed for the sea.
Daniela has taught sailing at some of the most
highest-profile schools in the industry, including Longshore
Sailing School and The Bitter End Yacht Club. She
even taught sailing in Italy, in Italian. Allen's comfort
and skill at the helm led to lots of miles
at sea as a delivery captain. He too spent a lot of time
in front of the chalk board, and both Allen and Daniela have
extensive racing experience. Allen and Daniela’s addiction
to the water, paired with a passion for photography and
entrepreneurial drive, led to the launch of PhotoBoat on
Long Island Sound in 2005.
In ’06 they cruised from Connecticut to Key West and
back on their 37’ live aboard sailboat, hitting every
regatta they could along the way. Not
bad for a business trip. Their
photos are as dynamic as their lifestyle and they have
rapidly carved their place among the top photographers in
the marine industry. The
duo is now in high demand for commercial and editorial
work—they even tag-team on-the-water and shore side
weddings—and their limited edition fine art prints can be
found in galleries on the East Coast.
