Reply to "n": You're very welcome, and I'm glad you enjoy the photos. It was a great event to shoot. All the racers and their parents were fun to work with. I've been involved in photographing all types of racing, from Formula One to small boat racing, for longer than I want to admit, and I've found that racing at this level, including college events, if the purest form of serious racing there is.
I'd rather shoot an event such as this than an America's Cup, since this is the real thing, on many levels. As someone said a few years ago in my favorite quote about sport; "Not to compete wholeheartedly, with a will to win, degrades the sport and insults the competition." These racers (I refuse to call them "kids") personify that quote. They race for all the right reasons, and I hope that it shows in some small way in these images.
