Charlie, the pictures are amazing, the angles, and artistry is great! will any of these great photos be for sale on HORBA in the near future???

Best,
cdc

YES DEFINITELY!

The Photo galleries are just low quality pictures but we have all of the original negatives. I'm thinking some of these big air shots blown up would look great in the shop....look for details on the site soon.

Thanks again for all of the kind words about the pics - we really wanted to get this history out for all to see...it has been a great deal of work.

What´s really amazing is to see top quality photo´s of boats that up until recently (through the likes of OSO/HORBA etc) I had only seen in very old, rapidly deteriorating magazines - and usually in black and white. So to see colour pristine shots of boats I've dreamt about is just awesome. Thanks again.

Just had a thought!!! How about a calender?? The HORBA retro classic calender 2008?? Imagine it - Kaama, Michelob Light, Dry Martini, Bounty Hunter, American Eagle, Pangare Gringo - my mind is spinning.................

Thanks Nige....BUT calender's are tough due to the dated factor.

We are working with John Crouse and trying to help him find a publisher, to get this last book of his out of the way....THEN----------drum roll please....He wants to do a photo book with just some cut lines....maybe the 60's the 70's etc......do the book oversize so the photos really stand out, maybe 100 shots for each book....with some real history in the cut lines.

Excellent!!!
I'm putting my name down to reserve a copy.....

Ditto!!

Let's just hope that the demand that is promised comes to fruition..................(i.e. I'll take one please!)

Any chance you'll get some posters made?..........there are so many perfect shots......I'd love to plaster my shop with them.

photo book would be TOPs
