I Need Some Photos

[trapezeartist]

I am doing a talk on mooring a boat soon and I am looking for some photos to illustrate it.

Recently there was a photo on this forum of a boat left hanging from a harbour wall when the tide dropped. I can't find it now. Can anyone point me to it?

There have also been a couple of photos of yachts dried out on their wing keels. One of those would be amusing to show how a boat will just perch on it's keel.

Finally I would like to find a photo of a person struggling to hold onto a mooring line, instead of putting it round a cleat.

Hi - I have a copy of the illustration drawing in Reeds Crew Handbook if that helps: have a look at http://www.aztecsailing.co.uk/newaztec/practical/crew.html and click on the link Copy of Figure.

"Moor on that pile over there"

Oh sorry it's not a caption thread

These pics are weeny. how are you going to use them? You really need links to the original larger images.

 

[trapezeartist]

That's why I clicked on the thumbnails and then downloaded the larger images. :encouragement:

 

[Lakesailor]

They are still tiny. Don't say I didn't warn you.

 

[trapezeartist]

700-1200 pixels wide. That might be tiny if you want to publish it on the cover of a glossy magazine, but it should be entirely adequate for putting on a 1366x768 computer screen.
