HM The Queen arriving in Cowes yesterday on board Leander

Yesterday, HM The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh did a sail-pass alongside all the superyachts in the SY Cup, as they moored in a line on swinging moorings opposite the Royal Yacht Squadron. HM The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh stood on the foredeck of Sir Donald Gosling's superyacht Leander.

The entire crews of the superyachts performing in the Superyacht Regatta stood lined up on the foredecks and gave 3 cheers to The Queen as she sailed passed. SuperYachtTimes.com's Richard Callender, who crewed on superyacht Mari Cha III for the occasion, took these picture taken from Mari Cha III's foredeck.
