Regatta 139, is the new exhibition by acclaimed Island photographer Julian Winslow.

Depicting the joyful side of friendly rivalry at the annual Seaview Village Regatta, it also highlights the powerful forces of family bonds, inner strength and community.

The regatta now in its 139th year, features swimming, diving, sailing, rowing and the notorious greasy pole.

Julian explains,

“I approached the regatta from a different viewpoint. There’s an image of a group of people getting ready to push their boat out to sea and its timeless quality struck me.

“It’s a classic scene that connects fishermen, warriors, refugees and seafarers alike and is made more relevant by the fact that the village was founded by maritime pilots. It’s candid and simple yet for me extremely profound.”
