The Big Picture: From Sharon Green

SinC The Big Picture Queens Sailing Team

April 5, 2023

This past weekend I photographed the 2023 Harbor Cup at Los Angeles Yacht Club. My niece, Rachel Green, is on the Queens University Sailing Team. This is quite an honor to be invited to this collegiate event. The kids are just wonderful, and I am so proud of them.

They did very well considering the diabolical weather and the first time sailing in a Cal 37 against the top schools in the US.

Here’s a shot of the Queen’s team on a Cal 37 at the event.

Sail Techology: Sailing in the Right Gear

I was helping teach my daughters to drive a 5-speed manual over the last while, and they have gotten very good at it. The clutch has survived, and they willingly take that car when they need it, so I think that is a win. I only wish my customers would figure out the 3 gears they need to race a sailboat!
