Hamilton Island's Hahn Premium Race Week pictures

SAILING - Hamilton Island Race Week 2005 - Hamilton Island, Queensland (AUS) - Day 3 - EUN NA MARA - 23/08/05 - Photo : Andrea Francolini Andrea Francolini Photography http://www.afrancolini.com/
Fantastic action last week at Hamilton island during the 2005 Hahn Premium Race Week.

Over 180 boats competed in the windy and sometimes wet Whitsundays. It was almost a pity that the race came to an end when it did - as the wind was still blowing stronger than ever.

These strong conditions provided quite a show for the sailors and the media.

A little carnage was on the menu with the big winds and opposing tides - it sure
kept everyone on their toes.

Here is a selection from last week to wet your appetite.

Images are still being uploaded to my web site: www.afrancolini.com
Key word: Hamilton 2005

It will be another few hours before I have the initial 500 images on line.

Ask me, if you don't see your boat there, we have lot's more files.

I sure hope you enjoy these images as much as I did when taking them.
