Mille Fife Regatta 2022 revisited – thanks to photos by Götz GÖPPERT c/o ANDREA HEBERGER

“I followed and photographed the Fife Regatta for watch manufacturer and main sponsor Richard Mille. Ten days in Scotland with almost non-stop rain and temperatures between 6 and 12°. I didn’t get out of the rain gear and rubber boots all week. So the conditions were not easy, particularly since I was working from the dinghy almost the whole time.” says Götz GÖPPERT c/o ANDREA HEBERGER.

The photographer tells GoSee.News : “Finding the right angles for the boats to look just right was not easy. Fortunately, I have a lot of racing experience, and Richard Mille provided me with a big and fast dinghy so that I was able to get around quite well in the racing field. The work in such cases is less spontaneous, and you sometimes have to wait a long time for good shots because the background and the boats have to be a perfect match.

Then there’s the light, and the wind and cameras have to be kept dry. Plus, a few shots have to be taken on board while sailing. To do so, my dinghy dropped me off on various ships before or after the regatta; of course, with as little wind and swells as far away as possible so nobody fell into the water.

I spent really wonderful and exciting days in the wonderfully picturesque Scottish fjords with the perhaps most beautiful classic yachts and was so glad when I got to take a warm shower every evening.”

The Fife Regatta returned in 2022 with the support of RICHARD MILLE. This fifth edition was: “The largest ever gathering of Fife yachts in the world”. From 10 to 17 June, a fleet of famous Fife yachts returned to their birthplace on the Clyde to participate in this unique regatta, celebrating the designs of William Fife.
