As 2012 is coming to a close, One tends to review the past before starting anew. Over the past few years I have scanned almost 200,000 images. Most of them connect to yachting in some way. There are still some I have not found. Tom Blackaller, as example. It’s there, I just could not put my cursor on it today.
Each photograph evokes memories of a race or a series of anecdotes associated with the circumstances. By and large, one of the thoughts that occurs to me is that these people are associated with their boats. Dick Nye, a prime example is synonymous with “Carina”. Bill Snaith With “Figaro”. Jesse Phillips with “Charisma”. Georgio Falk with “Guia”. Tom Watson with “Palawan”. Edmund Rothschild wit h”Gitana”
Because the boats had a longer life they acquired personalities of their own as well.
