While summer in San Francisco Bay is known for its strong thermals, this is not summer. Photos by Erik Simonson.  From Ron Schaper: This is a photo taken from the Goodyear blimp of the Hillsboro Inlet Sailing Club's 73 boat circle raft-up in Lake Boca, Boca Raton, FL on Feb. 31-March 1.   A Hoek 55m ketch being rolled over at Vitters Shipyard, Zwartsluis, The Netherlands. The final construction details will be completed over the next months, including the addition of the two deckhouses and the hull will move to Vitter’s finishing hall on May 1st.

US SAILING's Rolex Yachtsman and Yachtswoman of the Year Awards luncheon at the New York Yacht Club, where Terry Hutchinson's (Annapolis, Md.) and Anna Tunnicliffe's (Plantation, Fla.) received their 2008 awards. Rolex Watch U.S.A.'s Vice President and Director of Communications Peter Nicholson is on the left with US SAILING Executive Director Charlie Leighton on the right. We are not sure what is more impressive… the awards or the guns on Tunnicliffe. Photo credit: Dan Nerney/Rolex. Click here to submit your photos for consideration. |
