Sneakers. Local NE US jargon - I reckon. I recall when I moved to ATL and the first time I was "corrected" for calling them sneakers. To which I queried, "so do youse guys all play tennis around here?" In my best Cousin Vinnie accent.
That's a little bit like grinders, hoagies, subs, Dagwood sandwiches...

I second the idea of having a friend take a pic as you sail by. This was taken from shore during a race.

Race, you can get pictures from other people's cameras then!
Nice that he framed it with the boom and lifeline for me!

Or this pre-race warm-up shot

or this


OK I admit it, I miss my boat... but the NEXT boat (sale pending) will be even BETTER!

They do Dave (but they are nice pics )

FYI, it's easy to link to the big picture when it has been uploaded into the Members area.
Click on the image below..

[url="https://www.catalina-capri-25s.net/cgi-local/MBR_system.cgi?VM%201000-3119"][/url]

That allows us to show the pic and link to the full size version without screwing up the page format.

You can get some surprisingly good images with a camera on a pole using the timer setting. I primarily use a Gopro, but it can be done easily with other cameras (just dont drop it ). Since I singlehand I never have anyone around to take pictures unless I get lucky.

These are a few videos I made recently...I believe some of them have these shots from the extension pole. I use one of those yellow fiberglass poles for changing light bulbs on high ceilings.

You wont get long distance photos, but some very unique ones.

The Pole Cam
The camera mini tripod is held with Velcro to our Boat hook pole.
This allows easy aiming of the cam over a wide range.
The Camera is tied to a cord that is attached to my wrist while I take pics. Just in case

The Camera is an Olympus Tough Stylus with the standard lens. It's reported as waterproof to 50ft.
The Olympus also has Full HD video option. I tried to get a video of the boat sailing with the camera underwater.

5knts causes a lot of pressure on the end of the pole!

I'm going to work on a device to stabilize the camera while in the water underway.

I have been working on a method of hoisting the camera up the mast.

Concept is to have a pole secured to a spare halyard with the camera fixed as shown in the pic above.
Then hoist the pole up to snap the pics.

The challenge is to get the camera in position within the 12 seconds self timer.
Of course, I could just turn on the video recorder.

Just adds fun to the sailing time!

Try mounting the camera to an extra goose-neck slide that rides above the mainsail or just velcro the camera to the headboard of the mainsail. If you have a GoPro Here 3+ black edition
you can use the remote to trigger the shutter.

Wish the camera had a remote option!

I was thinking of using the spare jib halyard. My greatest concern with putting it up on a pole above the mast head is if it fell off!!!

<< How fast were you going? >>

I don't know.. I've never raced, had a knot meter, or really paid much attention to the actual speed..
It was doin pretty good. Always fun to sail Lanier when the wind is out of the NE..
it seems to come rolling down the valley steady,
with a small chop on the water without much of a fetch.

Lots of other sailboats out.
I really wanted to get in closer to look at some of the FLying Scotts
it was a flying scott regatta )
but they are racing so I try to stay outta their wind.

Paul.. I bet you are just waiting to get some dolphin shots..
