I have done some video production and I am sure that a head cam would not produce much useable footage. There would be way to much movement, shake and panning all over the place. It would look very chaotic. Plus do you really want to be wearing a helmet with a cam on it while tacking under a boom? lol.. I wouldn’t expect a camera to last more than a few tacks before you hear... THUNK– followed by a CUR-SPLASH !!!

You will have to create some type of mount. I have seen other youtube's and some show a mounting system off the front beam pointing back. As you can see from the other videos.. outside pointing in towards the skipper is much more interesting than just at the water.

Make sure you have a GOOD lanyard as a backup incase a big wave crashes over the camera and takes it. I was sailing yesterday and my crew had a vid/still camera. He had a light lanyard (wrist strap) that he attached to his spray jacket. He went to grab the camera and it was GONE!!! Luckily it was still on the trampoline but we were in 20+ winds and it surly would have gone swimming during our next tack or hull fly.

All that being said… take your camera out… try different set ups… see what works best and be sure to post a link when you have some killer footage!
