Gallery—Scenes From Woman Key
With no competition to capture last Saturday during the Race World Offshore Key West World Championships, photographer Jeff Helmkamp focused his attention on high-performance pleasure boats. And there were more than 150 of those beauties in town for the Florida Powerboat Club Key West Powerboat Week affair.
Helmkamp had plenty of work to do.

The largest concentration of boats made its way to Woman Key for an afternoon raft-up. Helmkamp was in the air via helicopter to captured it all, as well as boats arriving and departing the good-time scene.
He had plenty of boats to shoot. The organic raft-up attracted dozens of models from the likes of Deep Impact, Midnight Express, MTI, Mystic, Nor-Tech and more.

By late afternoon, all but a few of them were back in Key West in advance of the Florida Powerboat Club awards presentation and dinner celebration at the Conch Republic Seafood restaurant.
Key West provided snug harbor for the new Angle of Attack Marine Mystic M5200 center console.
