Jun 29, 2022

Sharon Green has a knack of catching the right sailing shot at the right moment. This comes from last September’s Canada’s Cup, but we have been carefully saving it for Canada Day on Friday. Have a great one!

Sharon Green

Canada’s best known sailing photographer, Sharon Green, was born into a family of sailors in Burlington, ON. Taking up a camera while still in high school, Sharon combined an inherent talent with her passion for sailing.
