July’s Caption Contest(!) Is Here!
Here we go folks! It’s July’s Caption Contest(!) time.
We love sailing for many reasons, one of which is the crazy perspectives that can sometimes be captured by the lens. And … Go!

The latest development in foiling… no hull, and the crew all wear snorkles.
Semi-stealth submarine with wind power
1. “I know deck-sweeping sails are more efficient, but isn’t this carrying it a tad too far?”
2. “Steady at periscope depth Captain; wind propulsion mode engaged.”
Leave a little room between the sail and deck for green water!
We are still working on a few bugs in her self-righting.
Maybe we should have checked the thru-hulls?
There’s nothing quite as inspiring when the sails fill with an ocean breeze.
Hey,reverse works!
Rake the mast forward, and lower the hull!
!!BLOW THE TANKS!!
Captain Nemo’s less-bright brother (Biff) was jealous of all the attention he received. His short-lived attempt at fame – an experiment with wind-powered submersibles – ended in disaster. RIP Biff.
I didn’t realize the weight limit was a real thing
A swell day for a sail!
Ok, who put the foils on upside down…
The worlds first racing sail submarine is a go!
Is this the lever for the foils? Ops
See? I told you it’s not impossible to submarine your sailboat.
I said tack !!!!
Where the frig is Sprig?
Wrong spinnaker for the reach leg of an old school Olympic triangle.
I was there …steering… and hating the loads on this full size runner.

Greg – You were AWESOME as always! It was a SWELL day for a race, and happy to add SPRIG to my SUBMARINER Series. I also captured RORY in the trough on the same weekend. You and SPRIG are always in my sights for a great photo!
All swell that end swell!
You caught it! I was racing on CHIMAERA, a few troughs over – and love adding our wooden beauties to my SUBMARINER series! I have caught 3 schooners, a 10 metre, a Spirit of Tradition custom, and a few more.
Broach City!

I said to HEAD down!
new attempt in getting additional waterline length and beat a lousy rating.
Although great for the environment, this new submarine class is slightly less stealth.
Which one of you said… “Dive, Dive”?
I think we might need a re cut on the light #1.
Looks a bit bellied.
A rising tide does NOT lift all boats.
The sailmaker said, “Get a photo of the new sails for the ad.”
I said douse the spinnaker; I meant just take it down, not plunge it into the ocean!
