TBF Photographers POV
We are blessed here in the Bay Area with talented sailing photographers. It would be a shame to let the 2010 Three Bridge Fiasco slide into the history books without featuring some of their work.
A pair of counter-clockwise Moore 24s, JR and Absinthe, approach the scenic Yerba Buena light. Racers and photographers alike were blessed with the sunshine. © 2010 Erik Simonson/www.h2oshots.com
The F-41 Endless Summer catamaran and the Express 27 Desperado finish in opposite directions. Unfortunately for Endless Summer, they missed their radio check-in deadline and so were scored DNS. © 2010 BAMA
Shenanigans, an Express 27 (foreground), and Flight Risk, Ben Landon’s Thompson 650, had a neck-and-neck battle for second place overall, which the T650 won by six seconds. Nick Gibbens of Shenanigans later informed the race committee that he’d been over early at the start, taking a 20 minute penalty and giving up third place. He gets our vote for good sport of the regatta. © 2010 BAMA
