Sailing pix

I've been shooting sailboats with small cameras for 28 years and loving it. Latest camera is a Canon S130 pocket camera. Never used a tripod as it wouldn't help in a small boat. Some pix are blurry but I am amazed how well this little camera does. It literally lives in my pocket and I can shoot with one hand and steer my boat (sail or outboard coach boat) with the other.

Welcome to the group Coach Ken.
I love the "Practice" photo...the others just show that sailing in New England aint for sissies! Post as many as you got. These are great.

I used to participate in Block Island race week, of course it's a little warmer up there in the summer. Nice Pics.

Yes, college sailing can be chilly, particularly in Spring (March & April) but my next gig is Key West Race Week this January

I really like the last photo (Farr 40s...). Maritime fog, green water, definately a mood and action shot.

As a sailor I too love the open water. Your pics have stirred that feeling again. I have a 31 foot Kenner Privateer ...ketch.

Also sailed for years on Lake Superior in Northern WI and was involved in NorthCoastCommunity Sailing, a program teaching young sailors. We have tons of sailing pictures on our website. Also instructed at local charter company. Thanks for the pics!

Hi Coach, glad you are here. I really liked the practice photo and the last one that is so moody, great. Thanks for sharing and look forward to seeing more.
