Sailing pictures by Erik Lähteenmäki 

The season 2011 picture library links have now been moved to the menu on the right side.
Old annual menus are still available by clicking the "SEASON 20XX" text in the menu.

For winter reading we recommend following books available in the Sailpix Shop:

Åbo Båtvarf 1889-1954 Parhaat veneet tehtiin Turun veneveistömöllä The Six Metre - 100 Years of Racing Segel och Hav - Purjeita Merellä

Preparations for the sailing season 2012 are under way. Along the many weekend regattas the main photography sessions will be the ORC International World Championship and X-41 World Championship in Helsinki in August. It has not yet been decided if Sailpix will be present at the Six Metre European Championship in Nynäshamn in Sweden at the end of July.

My good fellow Jorma Rautapää sent me a picture from last summer from the 6mR Worlds. I'm very thankful for the picture as I don't have any pictures where my work is presented so well.

Please also visit Jorma's homepage Sails and Sea with hundreds of different photos of fine wooden yachts documented with lot of data.
