> The maximum line of sight (LOS) distances from the camera positions to the
> targets were almost 3km or 1.9 miles. Consequently, some of the severely
> cropped images do not look too good when enlarged. All exposures made at
> f/8. The Elmarit 90 may not be the sharpest tele-M but it's the only one I
> own, bought a long time ago.

> For much better close-ups, as well as a video of an unplanned nautical
> maneuver ("Oracle 5 capsize"), see www.oracleracing.com .
>
> For event schedules and more close-ups see www.americascup.com .

> Cs & Cs cheerfully considered.
