Round the Island Race 2012 : Eleonora
One of the great classic sailing schooners, Eleonora, beating upwind towards Hurst Castle in almost full sail.
They had lost one of their top sails and if you look closely there is a crew member up the fore-mast gathering in the damaged sail.
A beautiful yacht but stunning in full sail like this, with the light above and behind her, reflecting off the sails. I always feel that these classic yachts look so much better portrayed in the sepia print style of old.
