One of Australia's top photographers, Craig Greenhill (saltydingo.com.au) was in the skies for Day 3 of the Hamilton Island Race Week.

With the fresh breeze piping to 25kts plus, a helicopter was the only way to keep pace with the top yachts sailing at speeds of 25 kts downwind, and the MOD70 Beau Geste sailing 10kts faster than the monohulls.

He got some great shots.

Here's Salty Dingo's bird's eye view of the day.
