Default Volvo In-Port Race

Race started at 1pm and reached facing Bedok Jetty around 1-20pm. Weather was very hot, but windy which is good for the competition, and the sky was really bad .... totally grey as usual, very bad for photography.

The distance should be ideal for 600mm guns.

Shoot with the Ef300mm with massive cropping.

One of the 2 ERICSSON teams ... not sure how to tell the difference...



One of the few moments when a few sails crossed ..... note how close these big boats can come to each others.
here you can see the 2 Ericsson teams ...



pardon my poor PS skills ...

In the top part of the sail there is written either SWE 3 for team Ericsson 3 or SWE 4 for team Ericsson 4. It is in white letters in orange part of the sail.

Looks like the above one is Ericsson 4.

And actually it was Ericsson 4 who won the in-port race: http://www.volvooceanrace.org/news/a...LOG/index.aspx

Very sharp even after 'massive cropping'! Great work!
