There are just some days when, as a photographer, you know you're in for a treat - and today was one of those days. Solid 15-18 knot breeze, a short sea and sun all day.

Crosbie Lorimer got a good soaking out on the water today and it was worth every dousing on the way to the top mark just to capture these images. Here are some of his photos from today's spectacular IRC racing.
