Should this photo become the cover of the book which tells the 505's history? © Christophe Favreau / www.christophefavreau.com

On the fourth day of Christmas....

Christophe Favreau has perfectly captured that wonderful moment when you're already powering away down the reach, whilst boats are still beating up to the windward mark.

The book telling the story of the 5o5 is nearly ready for publication, but author Dougal Henshall is letting you help choose a great photo for the cover. Each day we will see one of Christophe Favreau's pictures posted, then at the end readers will be allowed to comment with their vote.
