US-21 American Eagle

1/1000th - f/8 - iso100 - 70mm

American Eagle is most famous for her extraordinary history as an ocean racer under the command of Ted Turner. From 1969 to 1974, the brilliant red Eagle ruled the offshore waters, winning the first World Ocean Racing Championship and setting records in the distinguished S.O.R.C., Fastnet and Sydney-Hobart Races. Ted Turner won the coveted "Yachtsman of the Year" award twice while owner/skipper of American Eagle. In 1976, Turner sold Eagle to pursue and eventually fulfill his dream of defending the America's Cup. In 1977 he successfully skippered the 12 Meter Courageous in the 'Cup. Meanwhile, Eagle's new owner, Warren Brown of Bermuda, continued American Eagle's awesome career crossing the Atlantic Ocean several times and winning major regattas in the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas. She finished close behind the winning Turner and his Tenacious in the deadly 1979 Fastnet Race storm,demonstrating her seaworthiness in an event that sadly left many boats and sailors on the bottom of the sea.

This is a great iconic image! You've captured just the right moment from a great angle to show the sails to great effect against that incredible sky. And then you render it with impeccable skill and taste. This image must have commercial appeal as well as artistic merit. Like the boat, this picture is a real winner! (And in my enthusiasm to select it as a Favorite, I lost my first version of these comments that were probably even more enthusiastic. ;-)

Regards,
--George

Marvelous work.

Thanks for any comments.

This was a tough one to get...the inflatable boat I was on was really moving keeping up with AE, swaying up & down and back & forth - makes it tough to get the right crop and composition.

Cheers,
Chris
