| 2003 Photograph Competition |
|
On March the 15th 2003, the Northern Ireland OGA Area Committee met at Royal North of Ireland Yacht
Club to have their Annual Committee dinner. After the dinner was over, those on the committee who did
not have an entry in the competition were elected to judge the entries in the 2003 Photograph Competition. They were left alone with the entries and after prolonged deliberation produced their selection as the winning photographs. As usual we had 2 classes, the Best Gaff Rig Photograph and the Best General Sailing Photograph. All photographs were entered into both classes. We had a total of 33 photographs entered by the gaffers listed below. |
