I like the way you added both interest and balance by including the rocks in the foreground.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223040482420514208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4431189593918564945.post-68650697508664041442008-07-23T23:24:00.000+02:002008-07-23T23:24:00.000+02:00The yacht is known as a Pacer 27, as the spinnaker...The yacht is known as a Pacer 27, as the spinnaker is flown from a pole protruding from the bow the spinnaker is technically known as an assymetric spinnaker. This is opposed to a 'normal' spinnaker that is flown from a pole that protrudes from the mast. <BR/><BR/>The assymetric spinnaker boats are normally very fast off the wind - what they gain in speed they lose in angle as they do not perform as well with the wind directly behind them, which is where a 'normal' spinnaker does very well. A normal spinnaker pole can be pulled back to square the spinnaker off and increase the angle sailed.<BR/><BR/>Firefly / Sam - the boat is owned by Caro's husband.MyPEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05333116992501353081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4431189593918564945.post-90701143288152021882008-07-23T12:16:00.000+02:002008-07-23T12:16:00.000+02:00Gorgeous shot!

It was great watching the yachts and paddlers go by. The highlight was a big pod of dolphins going by. I wrote about it on one of my blogs.<BR/>PS. This new application you can add to your blog to show blogs you read and when last they posted is very handy. Now I don't have to keep on checking out people's blogs to see if there is something new.Firefly the Travel Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03278794823093520621noreply@blogger.com
