Sailing in its most beautiful form
To this day, the challenging coastal and offshore waters of the North and Baltic Seas offer excellent conditions for this sport.
Photographer Peter Neumann has been there from the start. Whether in a storm off Helgoland or in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the regatta fleets off Kiel - where the drama is at its greatest, that's where you'll find Peter Neumann on his motorboat. He not only became one of the most important yacht photographers, but also shaped the image of the German Maritime Search and Rescue Association with his style.
This book contains his most impressive photographs, collected over 40 years of drama and romance on the regatta courses.
A beautiful series of pictures at the beginning is followed by six chapters focussing on the following topics:
- Portrait of the photographer and his work. Plus the historical photos that made him famous. It is also a nostalgic chapter in the history of German yachting and regattas
- Yacht regatta sailing on the Elbe and North Sea (Helgoland, Skagen)
- Yacht regatta sailing on the Baltic Sea (Kiel Week, Flensburg Week)
- Dinghy and keelboat regatta sailing (focus on Kiel Week)
- Sailing on international regatta courses (Cowes, Nioulargue, Atlantic
- Great shots from the work of the German Maritime Search and Rescue Association with reference to sailing
