When Richard was sailing some video footage was made, this time with a tripod they tell me. Apparently they now also have an UV filter that improved the pictures even more but we;ll have to wait some ore for that footage I'm afraid.
For now 3 clips without UV filter. The first clip s a bit out of focus or someone overdid it on the compression but I'll linked it anyway because, well, you do see a good deal on it despite the blurred contrast.
Please allow me to linked to the vid's one by one. I want to make sure that we don't overstept the transfer rate with the first few watchers and thus lock up to the webpage for others. If it does lock then this is the reason, I've downloaded all movies from this resource and the resource works. Best you cna do then is try back later or the next day.
So here goes (the first video of the Blade sailing, uni-rigged no spi skipper by Richard who gave his opinion earlier) :

Ohhh, Yes there is alot of fog. The winds were about 10 knots I'm told.
