Top 20 for Mirabaud Yacht Racing Image

While the public vote remains open for the 2020 Mirabaud Yacht Racing Image contest, the international jury has selected 20 of the 80 photos for the Main Price which they determine.

• Pierre Bouras (FRA)
• Thomas Campion (FRA)
• Michael Chittenden (NZL)
• Tom Coehoorn (NED)
• Brett Costello (AUS)
