Phil Norton, a professional photographer who kindly offered to assist in judging the entries, commented on the quality of all entries:
"The quality of the images entered was exceptional and it was actually quite hard to make a selection. There was a clear theme, as you would expect from the Ocean Cruising Club, and the images expressed it very well. As a photographer, I was drawn to images with a photographic quality obviously, but I didn't want that to influence all the choices; an exceptional image can be captured with even a phone these days, after all, arrows don't make the Indian. It was an emotive choice, how they made me feel, not being a sailor or a sea-goer, and how I felt about images of scenes I am never likely to experience myself."
The images are all loaded onto the OCC photo and video galleries.
