I've uploaded my "un-official" worlds photos to a web gallery for the first time so that you can view the low res images and download high res images direct to your computer with out charge.

When I wrote last night that this regatta wouldn’t be over until the fat lady sang I had no concept of the Wagnerian dramas that would unfolded on this final day of the 2006 Melges 24 World Championship in Hyeres where two races were sailed in an easterly wind of 5-8 knots.

"Brutal" is how Brian Porter described day five of the Melges 24 World Championship in Hyeres where crews completed races seven to nine in the gold and silver fleets in light, shifty easterly winds.

Check out our WORLDS 2006 PHOTO GALLERY . In particular take a look at image number 34 and see if you can spot the spinnaker pole!

It's 1345 local time here in Hyeres and the fleets are now back ashore having completed the last of the 6 round robin races.
