About MoFoto

 

Hello and welcome to MoFoTo.co.uk

Bet you've been to a sailing event and spotted a good photo of yourself, only to be told that the price will give you a severe pain in the wallet. Yes? Us too, so we started MoFoTo - to provide yachters with good quality, affordable photos.

At each event we move around the fleet(s) in our own RIB which means that we get to see, and photograph, the whole fleet - not just the front runners. We're also on the water for the whole of an event - not just a couple of days - so if we don't get you on the first day, don't worry, we'll get you eventually. We'll photograph anything that happens on the water - the good, the bad and the downright ugly. So if you do decide to do something 'dramatic' please wait 'til we're nearby.

If you want a specific photo of your boat on a particular point of sail you only have to ask and we'll do our level best to get it for you. You will find at least one, but usually all three, of us loitering about after racing and well into the evening!

The MoFoTo team is:

PHOTOGRAPHER - MO RAINEY
Mo has been taking photos for years. To stop him boring Ballyholme yacht club with his holiday photos he was persuaded to take photos of something the club members were actually interested in. He has been sailing since 1990 in yachts ranging from catamaran dinghies to 45ft racing yachts. This experience of yachts and yachting enables him to take more interesting and entertaining action photographs.

RIB DRIVER - COLIN JAMISON
Colin (formerly known as JAMBO) is an experienced yachtsman having sailed in everything from Cadet dinghies to 45ft racers. Colin has been driving rescue boats for 30 years and is RYA qualified to instructor level. All this means he can put Mo in good positions for photography without endangering or obstructing anyone.

RIB DRIVER - TERRY SWANSTON
Terry is an even more experienced yachter than Mo or Colin - mostly because he's so much older. Terry has sailed in everything from dinghies to offshore racers. He has been driving rescue boats for longer than anyone can remember so he too can put Mo in those hard to get to places without annoying anyone.

We are all active members of Ballyholme Yacht Club and would like to take this opportunity to thank BYC for all their help.

See you out there!
