New York Times (Sports) - July 25, 2013

I am working with my friend Sharon Green and the rest of the Ultimate Sailing Team as the official photographers of the 2013 Transpac Yacht Race from Long Beach, CA. to Honolulu, HI. There are three starts, 7/8, 7/11 & 7/13 and then we fly to Honolulu to photograph the finishes.

This is Dorade, a 52-foot ocean racing yacht built in 1929 that was a part of the first start of this year's race. www.transpacyc.com
