35 Years of Ultimate Sailing

Award-winning photographer Sharon Green has been capturing the breathtaking excitement of sailboat racing since 1983, when she launched the Ultimate Sailing Calendar. Her inimitable style is more analogous to art than sports photography, with a dramatic use of color, light, energy and form that brings the viewer into the heart of the fray to fully experience the passion, bustle and splendor of yacht racing.

Green's images appear annually in the Ultimate Sailing Calendar, in addition to books, periodicals and exhibits worldwide, and adorn her line of boating gifts and apparel created for elite yacht racing enthusiasts. And in sold-out speaking engagements Green inspires audiences with tales of her extraordinary career as a commissioned photographer for media outlets, private yacht owners, regattas, and campaigns - including one-half dozen America's Cups.

During her dacades-long mission to capture the Ultimate Sailing image, Green says, "Boats and sails continue to change, in an endless evolution of design and construction; but the beauty, drama and intensity of sailboat racing endures." THIS is Ultimate Sailing!
