Raku Photo

/in /by

A quick note on this year’s poster photo that has been uploaded onto Facebook, and hopefully Instagram if I can figure it out. Photo is Raku, skippered by Christina & Justin Wolfe, finishing at Kains Island lighthouse. Congratulations to Christina for earning Rolex Yachtswoman of the year, 2023.

Photo shot by Kevin Mueller from ROUGES, skippered by Theo Arsenault.

Look for more shots of the Raku photo as we begin ramping up to 2025.
