"During the 2014 season I worked very closely with the mast man on Mariquita Adam Norris, who helped me with both the photography and filming. We spent hours discussing the logistics of lashing cameras to the mast and setting them off remotely. As the season unfolded we had more and more success as Adam became more comfortable with the cameras and I began to understand what was achievable. This photograph was taken during a downwind leg in Mahon in Minorca. You can tell they've had windy conditions because the decks are damp and the crew are wearing their life jackets. On a downwind leg the crew will edge to the back of the boat to provide more weight on the stern so the rudder stays in the water. It's also a chance to have a bit of a breather before the spinnaker comes down and you prepare for the next tack."
