I generally don't like product placements in my photos, but in this case it was impossible to avoid. Anyway, Oracle makes database programs, and this thing is hardly a database. :)
I called it a thing because from this angle it looks more like a flying machine than a sailboat.
The hull (or hulls), are made out of carbon fiber. I could not find the weight of the hull alone, but the entire boat outfitted for racing weighed 17 tons (short tons; 34,000 lbs). This is extremely light for a boat that carries 13,000+ square feet of sail.
I like industrial stuff, and I like sailing, so I had a lot of fun shooting this event (that took a few days). I grew up racing sailboats (12' to 45' in length), so I can relate to the excitement of using the wind and water in a competition of design, wits and skill.
This one is my first test with the Yashica Mat 124G. I believe that they are not bad results. I have to try a minor range aperture.
