Photography Note<br />

One of the most frustrating aspects of photographing <strong>Mariquita</strong> is the pre-starts. The foredeck team only pull out the jib top as she crosses the start line, so for the hours leading up to that moment the sail<br />

configuration is not complete. This particular morning was different. <strong>Mariquita</strong> needed to win the last race of the regatta and was therefore keen to sail. Both Eleonora and Sumurun were unconvinced that there<br />

would even be enough wind to start the race. So John had <strong>Mariquita</strong> sailing around off the RYS with everything up including the jackyard topsail. This photograph shows <strong>Mariquita</strong> on the start line in excellent<br />

position with Eleonora and Sumurun in her wake. B.W.<br />
