Fort Walton Beach Yacht Club Regatta

A friend of mine crewed on the Rolling Thunder during the weekly regatta in Fort Walton Beach on 11 April 07. Here are a few of the images from the day. The Race started in beautiful weather, (the first sunny hours in a week!) but ended in fog. I will continue to update this gallery as I process the images.

Fog shots added 4/26/2007

Thanks for clearing that up! I was told that Rolling Thunder didn't use a spinaker that day, but when I saw the shot I was confused! Looks like the boat in front is perfectly aligned to make it look like its the sail on the RT. Stand by for some of the shots from the fog. Bill "K9"

great photos! I was on Rolling Thunder that day. It was a great evening of sailing. I wanted to point out that in one of your photos it looks like Rolling Thuder is flying a chute. Yoy labled the pic "Rolling Thunder sets spinaker". greta shot, but....Rolling Thunder didnt fly a spinaker that day. That chute is on another boat. Thanks for the photos. I really enjoyed showing them to my friends. Nick
