Next time you're feeling like a number, just be lucky you don't have it stamped on your back. Photo by Gilles Morelle  From Jennifer Zimmerman: "Who says old racing boats can't look sexy (especially with an all girl crew). A Bombardier 7.6 (yes they built 200 sailboats in 1980 and 81) on Lake Ontario out of Lakeshore Yacht Club at LSYC's first regatta event ever (the club just turned 20)! Us girls finished 4th out of 8 in 5 races - not bad for a 3,000 pound boat and 4 chicks in 20+ knots of wind!"  Did you know that the Queen lyric is not "FLAT bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round"? Don't tell that to these MC Scows on Lake Lanier, GA. Photo by Kirk S. Jockell.  While the sailing season is winding down in the northern hemisphere, the 18ft Skiff Season on Sydney Harbour in Australia begins October 9th. Photo by Ali Chapman.  The racing season got started last weekend in the Persian Gulf for the Dubai International Marine Club. Photo courtesy of DIMC.  Goodbye to the sailing season in the northeast. Photo by Leighton O'Connor.  Some photos are timeless. We think this is one of them. Taken by Steve Lapkin on Lake Tahoe, CA.  Here's a photo from 2004 of the "good old days" before keelboat hiking became de rigueur. Photo by Captain Jack Flannery. Click here to submit your photos for consideration. |
