Gotta Luv it 7 makes a dash for the finish line - 18ft Skiff JJ Giltinan Championships 2013 - Day 4 Beth Morley - Sport Sailing Photography http://www.sportsailingphotography.com

Sydney photographer, Beth Morley was on hand to capture the action from the thrilling finish of Race 4 of the JJ Giltinan Trophy, the unofficial World Championship for the 18ft skiff class, being sailed at the home of 18fter skiff sailing, on Sydney Harbour.

Three boats contested the finish - all within half a boat length, maybe less - in what could prove to be the series decider.
