West Coast Sailor Louis Kruk Vies for Mirabaud Yacht Racing Image Award

West Coast sailor Louis Kruk’s stunning photos, and stories of cruising, have graced the pages of Latitude 38 for over a decade. This year Louis decided to enter the annual Mirabaud Yacht Racing Image contest and exhibition.

“This year, In my first ever attempt at entering,” Louis wrote, “I was blessed to have my image selected as one of the top eighty [80] photographs for the contest.”

The contest’s prize winners will be selected across three categories:

Mirabaud Yacht Racing Image (main prize) — awarded by a panel of international specialists from the yacht racing and photographic industries.

Public Prize — selected by the number of popular votes on the internet.

Yacht Racing Forum Award — decided by the delegates of the Yacht Racing Forum.

Previous contests have featured other West Coast sailing photographers. The year 2013 in particular stands out, as four photographers whose images have appeared in Latitude 38 over the years were selected for the voting process.

Winners will be announced at the Yacht Racing Forum in Malta, on November 21-22.
