A slightly ghostly image in the haze of the beautiful classic schooner "Elena" outrunning a chasing seagull while preparing for the 2017 Coupe d'automne race from Cannes to St Tropez, run by the Yacht Club de France, this year celebrating the club's 150th anniversary.
Elena was designed and built in 1910 by famous America's Cup designer Nathaniel Herreshoff - the "wizard of Bristol" (in Rhode Island, USA) - and is 55m overall to the tip of the bowsprit. It is extensively chartered and still competes regularly in the classic yacht races in the Mediterranean.
