It was too tempting, I climbed up the mast, to get some shots --- well at least if I fall, I might hit the water

To see what I got - www.seastories.sg/feedme ---
hmmm, while you're up there ..if only the helmsman jibe the boat. wonder if you're be hanging or swimming?? :bsmilie:
 

Charles, went to your seastories site. Saw your SSR photos. Great shots! I like your close to water compo. You must be on chase boat. cheers! :)
 

Those damn ang mor damn cheeky - tacked and gybed a couple of times.
The mast up there moves quite alot. Got swung around, luckily to held on , yes guys , at no time I took photos using both hands.
 

Oh man charles... you just made me realise i have slight fear of heights. lol
=) lovely shot. hmmmm sat the colours a lil?;)

I can't remember - maybe I used photoshop velvia plugin - actually that shot was unprocessed straight out of cam - this one above is after molesting it .
 

charles, I got a suggestion, next time you're up there and the angmoh gybe, you just pee on them. then just tell them you wet your pants 'cos of their driving :):):)
 

rock climbing harness - pulled up by winch(EASY) - but got to hang on to the mast - cause mast swings around in sea. The cowboys didn't give me a safety line.

One time inbetween races had to Climb up like a coconut tree style cause no harness (use bow line knot around my chest) to do repairs - in rough seas, came down with Blisters inbetween my butt cheeks. OUCH.
 

charles, you're going for the horsburgh challenge?
