return to section: First of all, many thanks to all who submitted one or more great shots of their beautiful CLC boats for the fourth quarter of the 2024 Photo Contest. We were impressed with many more than can be listed here, but we appreciate your input, and your images will find their way to photo galleries and other spots over the next few months.
There were so many first-rate images our team members were hard-pressed to pick their favorites; when the votes were tallied, the winner, by a the narrowest margin, was this fun shot from Shannon N. of Mantua, N.J., of her daughter enjoying a family sail on their Northeaster Dory. Congratulations, Shannon, you've earned the $150 gift card.
In second overall was this excellently composed drone shot of his Rhode Runner runabout from Steven C. of Leland, MI.
Our old friend Paul L. of Wisconsin Dells, WI, was high on the list of favorite choices with this view of his Petrel under the Northern Lights. Paul's boats are works of art, but the backdrop certainly added to the glamor of this shot.
Other images that ranked high included:
This pretty Northeaster Dory from Dave J. of Youngsville, NC (above); and a young paddler in a Nymph Canoe from Rick W. of McKinney, TX;
along with this forested setting for his Sassafras 16 from Bud F. of Cassville, WA; and a day on the water in his Peeler Skiff from Tom W. in Oakton, VA.
