After a slow start to the day ( I wonder why?) sailors starting rigging and tunning boats prior to the Hogs Breath Cafe Hobie Cat Nationals at Nedlands Yacht Club which starts on the 2nd..

We have at least another 100 photos from New Years Night, however heaps of cash will keep the photos off the web .... ( for now)

Here's a few we will publish unless "they" don't pay up!!!

The Nedlands Yacht Club greeted more sailors arriving from all parts of Australia while the   " "Freo doctor" came in at 18++. Tonight is the  New Years Eve Party with Sponsor  -Hobie West.

The Hobie Aus factory guys were busy building the charter boat fleet today. Many thanks to all the helpers who made the task easy.

The "Doctor" came in at about 15 knots today. Fingers crossed, the "Doctor" will make regular visits.

More photos on Friday.

The Hogs Breath Hobie Cat National Championships 2005-2006 are being hosted in Perth, Western Australia. If you haven't been to Perth before, you're in for a pleasant surprise.

Perth city, located about 10 km in from the Indian Ocean, has the beautiful Swan River flowing right through its centre. The river is wide, with an afternoon sea breeze (known as the "Fremantle Doctor") is as regular as clockwork.

This constant afternoon wind is just perfect for filling the sails with cool, fresh air. Be prepared to pilot your craft at speed across this lovely river.

As the official photographer for this prestigious event, I'm proud to have the opportunity to capture each thrilling race, freezing the action to be viewed again and again in crisp, clean photographs.

Picturegraph Photography has photographed many challenging, fast moving sporting events, from incredibly high powered motorcycle road racing and Rally Australia, to AFL football and the more refined art of the West Australian Institute of Sport Gymnastics team.

I'll be out on the water every day of the event, with a dedicated support boat taking me to where the action is. Each day, you'll be able to view the previous days photos in the clubhouse. If you can't wait that long, just go to my web site at www.picturegraph.com.au

The days photos will be available from 9:00pm (WST) each night.

I'm looking to seeing you out on the water.
