Wow you take good shots. We’re delighted with all the input, but please don’t slow down. We will use them all.

Here are the rules – they must be taken from or near a boat. They must be your shots and free from copyright. Most importantly, they must be wonderful. Send the to us via CYonboard@kerrwil.com and put Photo in the subject line.
