It seems to me that there are so few movies that have really good footage of sailing; "Wind" being one of the few (although there is a pretty cheesey plotline you have to get past...), so help us in the ever chilling North East get through the impending winter with a few good flicks...
I know that there is a movie put out by Hobie called "Share the Wind" as that great jump pic was taken from it, but where do I find a copy? What other movies should I consider for the winter doldrums?

The video made for the Spitfire cat is an awesome video. I usually watch it every night!

Here are a few videos

I have put out a Tybee 500 video from this years race (called Catamaran Fringe Vol. 1) that is mostly shot with onboard camaras. There is a trailer for it and it can be purchased on my video website at

www.RockledgeEngineering.com

There is also a video gallery on the site that has a bunch of different flash videos that can be viewed online.

This is a image from the video, it is of Team Oz being hit by a wave, thats Rick Bliss and Brandy Wood in the middle of the blast!



Enjoy!

Pretty Cool Video....Especially the sequences at the end!

Been there done that!!

Check Murray's or a Hobie catalog for "Share the Wind". I have it and its great, although VERY 60s in style (dated).

Try these guys for some videos if you first don't find what you need in Rick's online store.

Shot at the F16 Global Challenge when Team Warren/Powter were reaching for the top mark that they overstood.


Otherwise go for the historic sailing movies like "Master and Commander", the "Hornblower" series or "mutiny on the bounty" etc
