big boat is the overtaking boat (or something is seriously wrong) so should keep clear until safely past. Allowing for perspective, he probably is doing.

What's your point.?
The pipsqueak hardly blankets the leeward (vulnerable /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif) yacht does it?

The big boat is probably doing twice the speed of the smaller one so not really posing a problem for them.
Thats one large yacht, do you know what she is?
looks like a heavy swell for Windermere /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It's supposed to elicit humorous captions.
I suppose once you mention Col Regs thats it scuppered. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
All I know about the boats id the caption "NEPHELE_and_SKY_HUNTER"

The "little one" looks about 35 ft Big one must be 100 ft or so.i would rather sail a mirror dinghy in a gravel pit than put on a poncy white uniform and crew on that.
Couldnt think of anything humorous so had a mini rant instead /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Yes
And very sensible passing to lee, even if a little closer than might be ideal.
Had he passed to weather he would have blanked the smaller yacht and left him without drive on a rocky lee shore.

Not for long though .I bet there doing 10 knots plus at least. I know a skipper that deliverede some of the Mirabellas. He said it was quite a strange experience overhauling small ships /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif The picture looks to me like it is shortened by a long lens.

If they are the boats in question, Nephele is a Frers 34m so 112 feet. Sky Hunter is a J42.

There are quite a few photos of Sky Hunter and of Nephele at Antigua Race Week last year on http://www.photoaction.com.
This cliff look very much like the cliff near the entrance to English Harbour.

After discounting perspective etc, how far are they off the rocks?
