The
Opera House Cup
The Opera House Cup Race
of Nantucket, named after the famous Opera House Restaurant, has
taken place the third weekend in August since 1973. This popular
race is part of the Northeast Classic Yacht Regatta Series and has
grown from 12 to some 75+ classic sailing yachts. I have
photographed this race almost every year since 1983. Due to the
unpredictable weather of the area, the race is always eventful, from
the noon start to the infamous big party that evening. My book,
'Wood, Wind and Water, A Story of the Opera House Race of
Nantucket', consists of a collection of 85 photographs I have taken
from 1983 to 2000. Additional photographs are in my collection
