5.5 Zeitlos wie die Klassischen Yachten

By JK | Published 27/06/2010

Es ist nun schon das zweite Jahr dass ich die 5.5 Schweizer Meisterschaft fotografiere. Die Boote sind einfach unglaublich schön. Zeitlose wie die Klassischen Yachten. Wäre super wenn es mit der WM in Torbole klappen würde da sind die Windbedingungen etwas anders und das wird man sicher auf den Bilder sehen. Grüsse Jürg
