stunning shots
those angles are just madness, there is not enough L glass in the world that would get me on one of those

Cool, just wondering- what equipment you use?

Very nice particularly like #6.

thanks for the comments
There was alot of wind that day and some of the boats even went further then the angles in the pics (only for a brief moment though). Was just crazy. But fun to watch......................and i bet there is at least one L-lens that would get you on a boat, im sure of it.
I shoot these with my Canon EOS 350D, with a Tamron 70-300 on it.

Wow, those bring back some awesome memories! Now I need to go get on a sailboat.

@lostprophet - The sailboats are actually more stable when they're keeling over like that...

"On my walk last sunday, there was another boat race."
Sounds like you were on land taking the shots....???

#2 shows the drama of competitive sailing.......

Yes indeed i was. When the race ends, they get back to the harbor. I was standing at the "entrance" (or whatever you would call it) of the harbor. So they come sailing in and lower the sails just when they passed my viewing point.
And thanks for the comments everyone
