Photo boats:
Media representatives and photographers desiring to cover the event
on the water are encouraged to make their own arrangements for boats
or charters. Premiere Racing has limited space onboard media boats
for photographers and journalists and will make best efforts to
accommodate all requests.
The following guidelines are in place for access to the event
media boats:
Requests will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis and
apply to only one day at a time, although any single day may be
selected in advance. Those unable to be accommodated on a day they
select will be placed at the top of the list for the next day they
prefer.
We ask that you provide credentials or details from your publication
or project. Requests from photographers and journalists who are not
on assignment cannot be accommodated. Premiere Racing is not
responsible for lunches, drinks or wet weather gear. Best efforts
will be made to accommodate requests from photographers and
journalists concerning their choice of racecourse. Final authority
regarding courses viewed rests with the onboard Premiere Racing
representative.
Premiere Racing reserves the right to use media boats on an as
needed basis in the event of an emergency, or to assist other race
committee boats.
