    In the larger sized pictures; actually I have them around 5 megapixel; you can see the expressions in the faces and te stress and tension.

    The last two pictures, one is the famous "Eagle Rock". I hope you enjoyed the series of pictures. However, on my side I still prefer the comfort and abundant space a motor yacht offers:) .

    Talk about being in the right place at the right time. Awesome images nilo. Thank you so much! As a lover of sailboats of all sizes, I'll nominate this thread for "Thread Of The Month" for September. :D

    Thank you Nilo, Spectacular pictures. You were very fortunate to be in the right place at the right time to get the shots of these wonderful yachts

    Ditto! It's almost like being there, without having to hoist sheets. I'm chained to the keyboard, so I greatly appreciate the diversion and living vicariously through the lens of your camera.

    Heh heh... what can I say? I love sailboats of any size, and I love racing (of almost any genre). Put the two together and I'm totally sold. :cool:
