Hey, Ralfeez, those links just take you to the welcome page, and I didn't notice anything to click on that said PHOTOS. Can you get us closer to the pics?
No, not me. It is a 470 during the 470 Worlds in San Francisco. The SF Bay has always been a challenge. This is only one of the hazards that await you out there. The shipping lanes are very busy and they don't stop or turn to avoid a dinghy (and they shouldn't). To be fair I think that it looks a lot closer than it really is. Can you see the Golden Gate in the background?

The St Francis RC did have to abandon a race during the 470 Worlds due to an inbound container ship. But they do an amazing job of coordinating with the shipping traffic to get the races in. And work very hard to keep everyone far away from those things (which move at a pretty amazing pace).
