Scuttlebutt Photos of the Week December 12-17, 2009 A random assortment of photos submitted to Scuttlebutt this week. Click here to submit your photos for consideration.  With the 2016 Olympics to be in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, this will soon become a very familiar sight. For now, however, we see some early training before the 2010 Star World Championship in January.

From Al Schreitmueller: "A parent displays complete trust in their child, the child shows complete responsibility in carrying our her part, and they are both enjoying their time together. These two will be sailing for a long time."  OceanLady loaded with the BMW ORACLE Racing boat, masts and wing along with all the support gear steams out of San Diego Bay on December 15 on her way to Valencia, Spain.

Photo by Martin Still, taken on frozen Lake Tuusula in Finland on Dec 14, 2009.  Built in Turkey, here is hull #1 of the one design Farr 25 getting launched.  From Daniel Forster, who was shooting at the SOLAS Big Boat challenge in Sydney, Australia, and now is getting ready for the 22 hours of helicopter time he has booked for the three day Sydney-Hobart Race. Here Daniel captures a crew onboard Wild Oats getting ready for the Cirque du Soleil.  How come that every time there is an O'Pen Bic regatta, the kids are completely distracted, they don't attend the skippers meeting, they miss half the races, and they could care less about following the race course? Will someone please tell these kids to stop having fun and get ready for the starting sequence? Photo by Pearl Yeh.
