I've just been published too ...

[luca brazzi]

In this month's edition of Yachting World. Odd I know.....but this goes back to my holiday in the south of France, photographing the Mirabella V getting stuck on the rocks in heavy winds by Cap Ferrat and Beaulieu sur Mer (4 miles east of Nice) last month.

Mirabella V is the world's largest single masted yacht, just completed this year in Southampton, and was en route to the Monaco Boat Show, and cost shed loads.

Got the best pictures before the journos and reporters turned up

They only used a couple of small pictures, but I'm credited and will get a fee (albeit tiny). Page 22.

I've got the full collection on my website, including Abramovich's boat the Ecstasea which was helping to pull it off the rocks.









Full set here (dialup friendly too):
www.sleepy-fish.com/mirabellav.htm

Also due to be in Boat International's trade journal next month with a similar selection.

Stroke of luck being in the right place at the right time.
