Wow, does the mast actually bend that much, or is that a fisheye lens picture?
Great shot!
Definitely a bit of both. It was gusty - I had single reef in and wind was up around 25knots.
The photo is from a GoPro on wide mounted on the pulpit but I used the software to take out the fish eye… not sure it did it fully.
I will have to try again and put the camera in normal mode but mount it on the end of the spinnaker pole a deploy it forward… might get a better idea then 
Great photo Peter and Ferronia is looking great. I bet one of the sailing mags would publish it if they saw it as the angles, mast bend and colours are amazing.

good day congrats
