Alex McKinnon's images of Melbourne's Club Marine Series

The Diamond, Rough Cut, comes home in the building breeze. - Club Marine Series Alex McKinnon Photography

Photographer Alex McKinnon was out on Melbourne's Port Phillip for the Club Marine Series. The White Divisions hung around under the proverbial AP for a bit over 30 minutes waiting for the breeze to build, whereas the Blue Division got away from host club, Brighton, with the less than five knots that was on offer.
B999, Xenia, won Blue Division, but being bunched in there with all the bricks and not a lot of breeze was interesting.... - Club Marine Series © Alex McKinnon Photography http://www.alexmckinnonphotography.com

Vitesse marches on to the finish, as Sunshine rounds the gate to go back again, only it was a Shortened Course. Doh! - Club Marine Series © Alex McKinnon Photography http://www.alexmckinnonphotography.com
