Through the Eyes of Legends: Sharon Green Featured in Sail Magazine

What an honor to be featured in SAIL Magazine alongside my talented friends Onne van der Wal and Amory Ross.

“Three photographers whose images have captured and shaped the way we see our sport and tell its stories”… wow. And to be called a “legend”—I’m still smiling.

But truly, it’s the sailing teams—across every class, every corner of the world, and every level of the sport—and the passion of the teams, campaigns, and owners that make it all possible. They are the reason these moments exist to be captured.

A Day on the Water with Onne van der Wal

Some of the best days on the water don’t go according to plan.

I had just flown across the country after another event to photograph the Rolex TP52 World Championship in Newport, Rhode Island. Thanks to multiple flight delays, I didn’t arrive until very late the night before. After only a couple of hours of sleep, I was up early, camera gear in hand, excited for what promised to be a spectacular day on the water.
