A Blast from the Past?

This week a customer asked me to trawl through the Fotoboat archives to find pictures of his boat from events dating back to 2004. I found a lot of pictures and set up a private album for him on the Fotoboat website, from which he has since chosen a number for printing, to adorn the walls of his new house.

So, if you would like to revive the memories of that blast from the past when you knew Fotoboat were on hand but you never got round to ordering a photo, drop us a line at telling us the year, the event, your sail number and anything else that might help us to identify your boat, and we will have a look for you. Could be a good idea for a surprise Christmas present?

Of course, things are much easier if you are looking for a picture from one of this year's events – just go straight to www.fotoboat.com and browse the galleries. For a smaller gift, consider the 2014 Fotoboat calendar, with action pictures of many classes. The calendars are selling fast, so order soon to secure your copy.
