The Skinny:

I got out to all 3 courses this year. Within each of the 4 galleries, the order is roughly A, B, then C, though I can't guarantee that once file numbers wrap back to zero.
The 4 galleries are below - click the picture to browse each gallery
The 13 megapixel images were shot with a 70-200 mm zoom, and are wider shots such as mark roundings, full spinakers, and starts. The 8 megapixel shots were with a 300 mm prime, so they're way more personal - cockpit shots, bow(wo)mans, skipper's nose hair, etc.
Some of the 13mp Saturday shots feature a sensor lugi the size of Florida. It's in a good spot for junk like that and can be retouched to oblivion unless it's right on a face, in which case it's probably a mole.
There's over 1500 images on the site, so make sure you page through each gallery
My apologies for the sheer volume of shots. Normally, I try and delete the 30 percent or so that aren't quite cooked, but this week's schedule makes that impossible. Figure it's better to just post all rather than nothing.
These are unprocessed proof images, so they're off kilter, uncorrected for tone and color, and not always well composed. All these issues are normal and correctable. Since there's some dogs in there I'll let you know if it's not a good candidate for enlargement.
You're welcome to save and print these files for personal use. You'll get reasonably good results at print sizes up to 4 by 6 inches. Contact me regarding publication or commercial usages
The largest uploaded 'original' version of each image on this website is less than 1 megapixel - about 1/16 of the actual image I get from the camera and use as the basis for custom-made prints
Larger, hand-crafted prints to 16 by 24 inches, or multiple copies to a total of ~400 square inches, are available for $75. I spend an hour or more working with each image to leverage every bit of emotion, color and detail, assuring your satisfaction
Please feel free to e-mail me at david.mcbride@yahoo.com, or call me at (562) 305-5120 for orders or questions. Please specify the exposure number, racing day, and boat
