I've been buying their Yachting wall calendar for the last 11 years and will be ordering my 2007 one soon.

Now theres a thought... so many good boaty pics get posted onto these boards, p'raps Keith could organise a Scuttlebut calender using members pics.

Agreed. I've a 30x20 Beken print of my boat on the wall here - stunning quality. The pictures you've posted on here (degraded by the web technology) don't do the quality of the original images justice. On my piccie I can read the boat speed on the ST60! But, as ever, one gets what one pays for!

Quite right, the original pics of our boat are approx 16x12 so a bit smaller than yours. Or new A3 scanner arrive today so have been playing with it. The images are re-sized for posting here so much of the detail lost

The originals are quite stunning

[Twister_Ken]

I too have been Bekened. Best boat shots ever.

 

[Lakesailor]

Phil Brown isn't bad. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif Beken is the business though.

 

[Rustyknight]

I've had my odd moments.....

The doctors say I'm better now!

 

[brianhumber]

They took a similar shot of Ronhilda the other year on spec from a rib off Cowes. A bit pricy but well worth it when viewed on the office wall and TV room on the winter months
