Blakey photo tribute

Over the last decade Christian Fevrier (right) has photographed most of the exploits of the late Sir Peter Blake, be it the Jules Verne Trophy record on board ENZA New Zealand, prising the America's Cup off American hands or hanging on to it again four years later.

Based in Cowes, Isle of Wight and run by former Yachting World picture editor Karren May, Bluegreen is a new specialist picture agency representing some of the world's best marine and travel photography.
