Sperry Topsider Charleston Race Week has quickly become the largest keelboat regatta in North America! We have been photographing CRW since 2007, when the regatta was host to around 100 boats. More than 250 boats are registered for the 2012 event- what an amazing growth spurt! CRW has become extremely popular for a series of one-design fleets, which race right in Charleston Harbor. Melges 20s, Melges 24s, J80s, J22s, J24s, Ultimate 20s, and Viper 640s all have huge participation numbers and great competition. With the historic city as a backdrop and commonly windy...

34th SUNCOAST RACEWEEK

March 30 - April 1 2012

Photography by Allen and Daniela Clark of PhotoBoat.com

Between the Suncoast Race Week fleet, the Festival of Speed cigarette boats, a few tankers, and dozens of fishermen and other recreational boaters, the space under the center three spans of the Sunshine Skyway bridge was like a revolving door this weekend. J/105 Orangutan, pictured above, was unfazed by the challenge of tacking through the narrow span with a tanker approaching during Friday's long upwind slog from Davis Island Yacht Club to Bradenton Yacht Club. The group enjoyed an easier day on Saturday. Good breeze and a nice spinnaker run brought them quickly to their...

Sailing World Magazine hosts National Offshore One Design (NOOD) regattas in eight great sailing cities around the United States.  This year, we're happy to be the official photographer for the event in St. Petersburg, Florida.

The San Juan 21s were pushed to their limit on Sunday on Tampa Bay, as the 2012 Sailing World St. Petersburg NOOD regatta went out with a bang. After what seemed like the slowest arrival of a cold front in history across Friday and Saturday, Sunday's weather dragged it out even further, including ominous clouds and several rain squalls followed by sunny skies, and then more rain. But there was no shortage of wind throughout! The 114 boats in 12 classes in the regatta had struggled through hours of postponement across the first two days of the regatta, so...

2012's Key West Race Week: Day 1 was a day for adrenaline junkies, with lumpy seas and 20 knots of breeze. In spite of diminishing breeze on Tuesday, all three circles were able to sail three races, and Key West translucent waters were at their best. The week finished with a bang with another terrific weather day on Friday.  With a good fleet of TP52s, new Farr 400...

Tradewinds Regatta 2012

The Tradewinds Regatta is what sailing is all about- a bunch of beach cats launching from a palm-tree filled public park in the Florida Keys, and racing in a protected sound right off the beach. Even better, when we showed up on Saturday to shoot the 70-boat fleet before making our way down to Key West Race Week, t...
