Bayfield sloop in Swanson Channel

Posted by Mike Aston on Monday, September 21, 2009, In : Bermudan Sloop 



My guess is this is a Bayfield 25, perhaps a 29.  Enjoying a leisurely, late-season sunny day and light breeze in Swanson Channel.  Very smart with its blue hull.

Big Cutter Motoring North

Posted by Mike Aston on Monday, September 21, 2009, In : Cutter 

This impressive cutter motored swiftly past from Swanson Channel heading Noprth into Captain's Passage between, Pender, Salt Sopring and Prevost Islands.  It was a great day and a shame she did not have her sails up.  Looked like a delivery trip.

I've just dug this single photo out taken 12 May 2005.  Looks like a Hans Christian 32 or 35 (or similar) heading into Howe Sound.  Looks like a nicely set up boat.

About Me


Mike Aston Even a bad day's sailing is more fun than a good day at the office. Maybe my photos tell the same story. Hopefully via my blog you will get a chance to look for some sailing photos of your own boat. I've categorized the yachts by type and added tags regarding the size and other attributes, where known, which should be useful and make searching easier. You could also search for locations to find photos taken in a particular location. After all, not many people get the chance to photograph themselves sailing their own boat, so perhaps I've done that for you already? Please contact me. I'd be pleased to hear from you.
