Hello all,

Doug Barthel has shot about 150 excellent pictures at the Gulfport A-cat / F16 regatta. Most of them at the top mark. You can actually follow the racing by looking at the pictures when they are put in the right order.

I've just finished the first batch of 63 pics. You can find these in on our Formula 16 page in the Gulfport 2006 gallery.

Go to : http://www.f16.beasts.org/ and click on gallery and look for events 2006

I tried my best to have all pictures ordered in time so you can follow the racing. However; I'm sometimes missing a series as the transfer of the pictures to me was not always trouble free. I hope to have that sorted out over the next week or two.

Everybody can also look at the orginal high resolution pictures. They can be found at :

Both Doug and the sailors wish to thank Gulfport yacht Club for running an excellent event and helping everybody (both sailors and photographers) in any way they could. Many have said they will be back next time. And it promised alot for the Alter Cup area D-south qualifier that will be held at the GYC club.

So thank you GYC !


I expect to do more pics next week. Stay tuned !

Wouter
