Scuttlebutt Photos of the Week February 26-March 4, 2010 A random assortment of photos submitted to Scuttlebutt this week. Click here to submit your photos for consideration.  Photographer Chris Cameron captures a moment of bedlam at the Omega Auckland Match Racing Regatta, where a fleet of elite match racers are tuning their skills for next week's Louis Vuitton Trophy Auckland event in America's Cup Class boats.  Neither rain nor sleet nor snow, all of which had combined to cancel flights and delay trains in the Northeast, could deter Anna Tunnicliffe (Plantation, Fla.) and Bora Gulari (Detroit, Mich.) from getting to Manhattan (NY) last Friday for their moment in the spotlight at US SAILING’s Rolex Yachtsman and Yachtswoman of the Year Awards ceremony.

Photo by Marshall Bailey  There is a growing trend for regattas to provide real time online scoring updates, but what about on-the-water trophy presentations? Here (we assume) are the winners at the Dubai Traditional 22ft Dhow Championships, organised by Dubai International Marine Club.  Jim Teeters sent in this photo of Visione chasing P2 at the Superyacht Cup Antigua. Not sure where the crew are... maybe it is happy hour down below.  Good technique of gripping the mast when the spinnaker consumes your head. Photo by Leighton O'Connor.   If you are deciding on crew uniforms for the 2010 season, don't overlook the all cotton white pajama look with a number on the back.
