Another pic taken on our June cruise. Note that there is now also a shot at netbook resolution (1024 x 600).

More pics wanted - the main criteria are:

a) Shots taken showing a yacht or yachts or part thereof under sail are much preferred, action shots ideal

b) Failing the above, nice shots at anchor may be acceptable, but shots under sail are always preferred

c) Minimum 2 MP, preferably more but file size under 5MB. HIgh quality Jpeg (max compression 10)

d) There should be a largish unbroken area of sea or sky to put the calendar on

e) There should be reasonable areas of unbroken sea/sky etc for people to arrange their icons on

X 800 sounds like a better ratio.

Interesting photo: are there three reefing lines rigged on that sail?

How does the rest of the reefing set up work?

Any more photos of it?

I ask as I had a third set of reefing points put on my sail this year but have not as yet come up with a satisfactory way to rig it.

Thanks

Seconded - I too would like to see a picture of the other side of the boom.

IIRC, Fairwinds got a new mainsail with 3 reefs for her Atlantic adventure.

Very nice Jimi,

Please email me the high-res version and I'll use it next month. Sorry it took so long to reply.

Nick,

Not sure if they're any use (or you still need any) but someone commented recently that these were decent pics. I have full size versions available.

and I have a straightened one of this:

I know the boats are a bit wee but if you think they would do then happy to send over.
