Title: Random Photo competition
Post by: Phil Alderson on July 05, 2009, 09:09:43 PM: On the front page of the website is the random picture generator, and I think it needs some new photo's particularly of some of the new 05 rules boats.

The pictures need to be 300X200 pixels and in landscape to fit the box. lets see some posted up here and we can pick the best.

Lets see some more pictures, I would like to see some with spray, colour and a big grin.

Yeah sorry... I wasn't really thinking of that crop for the picture gallery, just thought it was a nicer shot cropped with wide aspect.
