2009 Fotoboat calendar - October shot from Firefly nationals

The October shot in the 2009 Fotoboat was taken by Heather Davies at the Firefly Nationals at Royal Torbay Yacht Club and shows Bram Appleton & Laura White from Sheffield University SC enjoying a lively reach. 2008 was the summer that never really was, but was also the year the Fireflies returned to the venue of the 1948 Olympics where racing took place in Fireflies. To add an amazing twist, boat number 498 competing in 2008 (sailed by Mark Tait & Sally Wakefield) also sailed in the 1948 Olympics as the Brazillian entry. Having been lovingly restored, 498 is still a competitive and fast boat.
The Fotoboat claendar is now on sale via the Fotoboat website at a very competitive price of £9.95 including UK postage. And if that wasn’t good enough, if you order 5 or more (great for family Christmas presents) you will get a nice discount. If you order 10 or more (great for prizes at your club’s Christmas do) you’ll pay even less.
