We have some great pictures from the Prize Giving ceremony of the Bergen to Lerwick race, captured beautifully by our photographer Tom Jamieson. These images perfectly showcase the joyful atmosphere, proud winners, and the fantastic location on Mareel venue. Whether it’s the moments of celebration on the podium or candid shots of sailors and supporters, Tom’s photography brings back memories of the enjoyable event to life.
Enjoy!
