Carl,



Thanks for your compliment on our Worrell 1000 videos. (For those who don't know about our videos, see our ad in the Catsailor Classifieds.) We're back from this year's race with about 100 hours of raw footage to sort through and edit down to the 2-hour highlight tape. Assuming that the Formula 500 race does not conflict with the Worrell 1000, we will most likely do a similar highlights tape for that race as well. As you know, we are not paid by anybody to travel up the coast and shoot the Worrell 1000, and the money we receive from tape sales has never even covered our costs. With some financial help from registration fees, coverage on the water of some, if not all of the boats would be possible. We have been working on designs for a waterproof system and boat mount. We had some boatcams in the 2001 race tape and will have some in the 2002 tape. We look forward to continued improvment of our methods. It has to be a system that we can afford to lose, since flooding and impact damage are not merely a possibility but an eventuality. (Team Cat Fever shot with our boatcams this year and trashed two water resistant housings and one camera. But it's all in the name of getting great footage.) We welcome comments about our videos and suggestions for future videos from the sailors, other race participants and viewers of our tapes.
