Elan One

IRC Class II winner; Elan One team from Israel is setting up the

spinnaker sail while turning around the first buoy.

Did they get it up in time before shrimping? What a dangerous position, been there too many times myself... I like the composition and timing for this photo, as well as the human interest in the crew. The boat on the right is fairly annoying but i dont think it could be cloned good nor could you do anything about it anyway, so its a moot point. Very nice image overall.

Hi Dan,

 

Glad you liked the photo. Yes they did hoist it very quickly. After all they were the winner for that day and for the four day regatta as well.
