Hi Bob,

No, it doesn't qualify as 'higher winds' per the title of this thread, but it's the only video I have. Winds when this video was shot on the Saturday of the Datchet meeting were F3-4 and there were a couple of capsizes in the 12 boat fleet. On the Sunday though speeds were up to F4-5 (mainly 5) and there were multiple capsizes and a couple of damaged FX1s from beaching while capsized. In this video the wind is more like a 3 than a 4 though.

Datchet is a concrete bowl (reservoir) with 60ft high sides. Usually the water is within a few feet of the top, but at this meeting (following a dry summer) the water was about 30ft down and as a result the water was very flat and the wind quite shifty. Good race meeting though.

The video was shot by Sue Davis - John_P's 'better half' using Aaron Young's camera. Aaron then very kindly sent me this clip. Nice of him and good work by Sue

BTW Bob, it's a Stealth F16 (earlier version).
