Wing Keel

And here it is, the wing keel worth all the fuss.

Port Bound

A beautiful old timber Ketch enters the Port of Mooloolaba.

Harbour Flying

A great spectacle from my recent holiday. The Swiss team Alinghi flying a hull on the harbour as they reach toward the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House. Aussie as bro.

Moths

These are hydrofoil moths. They were part of the pre-race entertainment on Sydney Harbour. The craft glide so quietly while foiling but every now and then they crash and burn spectacularly when the balance is lost through a tack or gybe.

Comanche

This is Comanche, a 100 foot super maxi, as she was preparing for the Sydney Hobart race near Manly a few weeks ago. Later today, she will be starting the race with over a hundred other yachts.

Wild Oats

Sailing past on the harbour was this this boat preparing for the Sydney to Hobart race. It is one of the most awarded boats in the fleet, Wild Oats 11.

Sydney Harbour

I visited Sydney to see the Extreme Sailing Series Act 8 on the harbour. Sydney is a beautiful city indeed, and the perfect venue for some serious sailing action.

Laser Sailing

A radio controlled model Laser sailing boat at Lake Kawana completing a tack on the upwind leg of the course.

A Nacra making the most of some gusty lunchtime breezes at Lake Moondarra.
