Event :

Knox-Johnston Cup 2024

Location :

The Needles, Isle of Wight, South Coast UK

About the shot :

This was taken during some very testing conditions on Clipper Events' (Clipper Round the World Yacht Race sister company) flagship race- The Knox-Johnston Cup. This event saw a fleet of Clipper 68s and Clipper 70s race around the Isle of Wight, an iconic racecourse, in some challenging conditions. I was shooting from my rib in 35+ knots of wind and a rough sea state and managed to capture CV3 Adventurous through The Needles, perfectly capturing the conditions of the day.
