By JK | Published 28/07/2010

Nun ist schon das zweite Audi MedCup Shooting zu Ende. Die Boote sind sehr ähnlich wie letztes Jahr trotz der paar Änderungen. Die Segel etwas grösser, Team kleiner, meht Tiefgang und ein Bowsprit.

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

By JK | Published 20/02/2010

It was a cold day, waiting on the photo boat for the race committee to start the race, then speeding around like devils at 50 miles/h following the boats after the start (now I know how fast is Hydroptere). 5 Miles in to the race we had to stop and after a short break off [...]
