Hamo-Thorneycroft, Beken of Cowes, are usually responsible for the piccies you see around, also Patrick Eden. They all have links on the Round the Island website (www.roundtheisland.org.uk), Hamo Thorneycroft one is quite good as it has a search engine where you can look for specific yachts and race pictures.

PS. Nice to see a proper rugby fan on the forum too!

This is one of the leading French marine photographers based at La Trinité sur Mer.

A friend of my daughters, who did her first offshore sailing with me in the Med, will apparently be providing the narrative to a Plisson book shortly to come out. Best (non-family) crew member I ever had though and she was only 15 at the time.

The poor girl now has to do all her work through the net because she is reduced to living on-board at Tahiti. Life is a beach sometimes... .

I was being serious... yes, there are some great piccys out on the internet, and they will cost a lotta for large enough to decorate walls with.

I used to take photos of boats racing (dinghies) and out of every 10 or 20, there might be one real cracker - and it is so satisfying when you took it yourself.

You need a contact with a rib, maybe a contact on a race committee boat...someone here might respond.......
