PhotoBoat: capturing the spirit of SailFast

We did a mid-season photo shoot of some new SailFast products last week with PhotoBoat photographers Allen and Daniella on the other side of the lens. With all the grey skies and heavy rainfall in June, Allen and Daniella pulled it together with less than a day's notice when NOAA final give us a decent window of light. We grabbed some SailFast fans and customers as models (keepin' it real). The location: Long Island Sound.

Check out their take on the shoot at

Many thanks to Allen, Daniella, Hollywood, Becca, Liza and Nicole for pulling it off!

Remember When?

There was a time - long before my time - when thousands of people used to flock to seaside hotels and beaches to watch sailboat regattas. Seeing this shot, taken at the recent Volvo Ocean Race stopover in Boston, made me yearn for those days. Actually, it made me yearn to be in Boston!

Any Boston sailors or fans care to report what they experienced?

Corinthian Spirit?

We've been having a bit of a debate lately and we wanted readers to weigh in. The debate is around "corinthian spirit" and what it means to day. Some find the phrase to be out of date, old and stale. Others think it timeless and friendly.

So, is the corinthian spirit alive and well, or is time for a new phrase?

Down in Key West

Found this one in the vault. It's from one of our first photo shoots on a Mumm 30 down in Key West a few years ago. SailFast will give a free t-shirt to anyone that can name this sailor.
