Photo competition for boat show tickets

[Halcyon Yachts]

Hi All,

I have a few spare tickets for the London Boat Show (12th - 20th Jan). Rather than just give them away I thought it might be more interesting (for all of us) to have a little photo competition.

If you are interested then please post on this thread your best sailing photograph from 2012. I will, with no particular skill or expertise, judge the entries on Monday the 7th. The winner will be sent two tickets to the boat show.

For those who don't have any photos to submit then I am also offering one ticket for the best limerick that sums up your sailing in 2012 (run on a separate thread).

I look forward to seeing what you've got!

Pete

Crew ready for inspection!

A very significant event that day. After 3 years waiting, it was the first time we managed to take our triplets out sailing and they really seemed to enjoy it.

The rools didn't say you had to take the picture

I know it's not exciting sailing but a great memory. SWMBO and the devil dog in the foreground and my other lover, Chausey, against the wall in Clovelly harbour. It was the weekend of their folk festival and a fantastic weekend.

Haha, you're not the first person to say that. That's actually my leg - and that's not a euphemism! Just must be a weird angle.
