The pictures in tallshipsandsmallships.com site are chosen from my photographs to show boats sailing and looking their best. I hope you will find pictures of square riggers, classic yachts and traditional working boats which fulfil this objective.

‘Adix’ is typical. ‘Adix’ is a nickname of endearment for a lady. This schooner is quite a lady. At 216 feet overall, the three masted leviathan is seen here racing off Falmouth in the Pendennis Cup during 2008. It may be said that she is sailing testing, strong wind conditions. The race was between a number of the finest schooners in the world and ‘Adix’ did not even win. I hope you will agree she looked fine whatever her position at the finish.

Please e-mail me jc@tallshipsandsmallships.com for a print of ‘Adix’. Details of the other pictures in the site can be found within.
