Gladiator 11152L
The 2023 Round the Island yacht race yielded a host of images that I am delighted to have captured, this one of Gladiator, 11152L being amongst them. At the time the images were captured I was unaware of some of the details within them. I may be wrong but I believe that the Gladiator's crew member at her stern and to the left of the image may have been suffering from a bout of sea-sickness. I know that feeling because during my first voyage as a junior Radio Officer in 1963 I experienced my one and only bout of "mal de mer" when I travelled across the North Sea from Newcastle to Antwerp.
