Standing on the keel of an Open 60

I'm sure many of you will have seen this before, but this page really had to include the amazing pictures of Alex Thomson standing on the keel of his Open 60 Hugo Boss. There's quite a story behind the shoot - read more here.

The boat is the same that he entered in the 2008 Vendee Globe - a short race for him after an unfortunate collision with a sumerged container a few days after the start. The boat has been involved in a load of events since, if you've not heard about the Open 60 class, it may be worth having a look.
