Demonstrating his prowess with the DSLR once more was Andrea Francolini. This collection of images was from today's SOLAS Big Boat Challenge.
Stunning conditions and these superlative images almost make you not realise that just the four entrants were out there making the most of it all. 'Smallest' was Wild Oats X at 66 feet, then Beau Geste at 80, and finally the near sisterships, Wild Oats XI and Black Jack at 100 feet each. Hard to say who had the best time, but HRH Cown Prince Fredrik may get the nod on that.....
