Ira just wrapped up photographing the F18 Americas Championship, and I drove for her one of the days. Those things haul ass!!! We were in a 18 ft. rib with a 90HP, and to get ahead of these things or do a ride-along with them involved some moderate butt-pucker... down wind OR up wind. The other challenging thing as a photo-boat driver is figuring out their bail-out angles. I want to get close, but if then need to come down hard in a puff the change in direction is a good amount larger than what a mono would do (understandable as the range of apparent wind angles are broader because the range of boat speeds are also larger). It was a ton of fun playing out on the SF bay with these rocket ships!
With David Doherty’s Matador taking out the 3rd act of the Pallas Capital TP52 Gold Cup, which was part of the Sail Port Stephens Regatta this weekend, here’s a flashback to earlier in the year when we shot her powering to the bottom mark off Manly for the Nautilus Marine Sydney Harbour Regatta, TP52 Aus, Middle Harbour Yacht Club Nautius Marine.
