Live Sail Die & 12' Skiffs

OG · **Posted:** 29 Dec 2008, 15:01

The 49th 12' Skiff Intermoninions kick off tomorrow and LSD is pleased to announce that we are one of their sponsors! We have provided tall beer glasses for the overall placings and handicap placings. Maybe we will even fill them with beer...!

If you are in the local BrisVegas Manly area (or surrounding suburbs) then try to get down to the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron because a huge spectator boat will be available each day. There is a little cost of $13.00 to cover it, but you are guaranteed to witness some great racing.

Over the next few days I will be on the water taking photos and will post them somewhere (probably here) when I can. At the end of the regatta I will move them to SAILINGphotos.net

There are a few new boats on the water for this regatta including BigO's blue thing...

Pity about the spectator boat for races 1 &2. I came down to have alook, but the spectator boat was double booked. Is the boat a goer for the rest of the week?

and has anyone seen any results?

It's about time I posted some photos of the 12' Skiff Interdominions!

There has been a few "technical" issues with photo uploads, but it has now been fixed and there are hundreds of photos to check out.

Here is a classic one from today's racing (4.1.09)

Check out the 12' Skiff Sub Site for more photos (click the red links where you are there) >>

Results are also on the sub site.

I wasn't able to get out to take photos today. Decided to fall over and cut my knee instead... :cry:

I got some pics on Saturday afternoon (wasn't aware of the change of schedule from Friday) - basically all from the ramp as they launched.

This skiff had trouble getting around past beam reach, and had a few goes prior to this but rounded up safely... until he ran up the eastern pontoon! :cry:

And finally from the Grandstand - was a little hard to get a shot in with the breeze moving the camera about (no tripod) and in full digital zoom

Probably the worst conditions for getting off the ramp though... certainly not suggesting I'd have done any better! :lol:

Still, the carnage shots are always a winner!
