Popular winner in the Helly Hansen – Global Ocean Race Photographic Award
The Helly Hansen – Global Ocean Race Photographic Award competition took place during the double-handed Class40 Normandy Channel Race in brutal conditions that made any attempts at video or stills photography an extra challenge. Despite the constant upwind sailing in strong breeze, many of the teams sent images into the race office with a panel of judges choosing a shot by Axel Strauss and Nicolas Boidevézi of Class40 Defi GDE – Tzu Hang as overall winner.
