Yacht Racing Image of the Year

San Francisco Bay has long been known as a top spot to capture fantastic sailing photographs, attracting some of the most famous photographers in the world since George Eastman invented roll film. Two such photos are now competing for your vote in the World Yacht Racing Forum’s ‘Yacht Racing Image of the Year‘ contest. Now in its fourth year, the contest will honor the photographer whose photo gets the most online votes. Out of the 25 spectacular images in this year’s competition, two were taken on the Bay, and we’d encourage our readers to vote for their favorite — let’s see San Francisco represented at the Forum in Estoril, Portugal next month!

Now, we have our suspicions on who the two shutterbugs are but we’ll stay mum on the matter and instead show you the entries. We know which one we’re voting for — how about you? Click the link above to vote for your favorite — it’s easy and doesn’t require registering — and then pop on over to our Facebook page to tell us which one you voted for!

And our contestants are Image #16…

Gary adapted easily to the stress-free life in Tonga’s archipelagos. Not only do his bushy beard and pipe fit the laidback cruiser image, but his cap is definitely apropos.
