PhotoBoat's Been Busy

While we photograph each regatta during the season, we love providing an opportunity for boat owners and racers to buy quality photos of their boat, or a cool shot of crew on the rail. But this isn't how PhotoBoat stays out of the red. We're really looking for those quality shots that make it into ads, magazines (online and print), catalogs, websites and email bursts that keep sailors up-to-date with the latest products, boats and sails, etc. If you have a sailing industry business, please contact us about our stock photo rates.

Check out these three loyal PhotoBoat customers:

American Yacht Club Spring Series (Week One)

Week one had two opposite weather days. Saturday was light breeze, warm and sunny. Then Sunday brought in some heavier breeze, cold and rain.

Welcome to spring sailing on Long Island Sound.

Let's see what this weekend's weather brings to the table.

For our sake, we're hoping for a nice 20kt easterly on a bright and sunny day with a few puffy white clouds in the background.

Is that too much to ask?

Here's a link to our photos. Enjoy!

Great Breeze in Charleston: Race Week Day 1

The breeze held longer than forecasted yesterday and we were busy capturing about 5000 photos of 180 boats on 4 courses. Today's weather looks good as well, so here we go again.

Charleston Race Week 2010: The Day Before

We've arrived at Charleston Race Week 2010 to a nice VSR waiting for us. We chartered the "Very Slender RIB" from Coachboat Management to cover the outside courses. I know, I know.... we've always covered the outside courses with our 11ft RIBs. But this year, with a record high turnout and a tight deadline for displaying the photos daily, we'll make sure we can get in and out faster, safer, and in style! We'll still be using our smaller boat for the two inside courses, because a dinghy is still the best platform for photography!

Charleston Race Week kicks off tomorrow morning with 4 courses, 183 boats, and 15 knots in the forecast. We'll be set up on the patio displaying photos on our terminals every evening.

Here's a shot of the Dinghy Locker crew from today.
