A roundup of some of the year’s best sailing photography

The Mirabaud Yacht Racing Image competition once again captures the excitement that is sailing from around the world

An impressive 109 photographers from 25 countries took part in last year’s Mirabaud Yacht Racing Image 2018 competition. And while Portuguese photographer Ricarado Pinto came away with the overall prize (see page 36), it’s no exaggeration to say that all the finalists in both the juried and “public” categories (the latter having been decided by more than 10,000 votes online) are truly winners in their ability to convey the beauty and excitement of sailing in all it’s forms.
