My Favorite YouTube Sailing Video..

Hi Guys and Gals,

I just wanted to share with you my favorite Sailing clip from YouTube. This upbeat clip always get's me exited about the world of sailing. Lots of Tri's and Cat's, I think there's a Tornado as well.

Anyways, have a look.

Yup thats definitely a good one <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

That one is in my youtube favorites.

Flying 2 hulls with the wake-boards behind - yet he still has the bottle to bear off a bit.

Am I the only one wondering what they used to edit all the boats and kite-surfers into the first YouTube video>

Sail fast, TG

A french speed sailing contest (annually) called the "Defilee Petit Navire"

There are full 20 min video's showing plenty of stuff on their webpage. For example, the ORMA 60's being raised out of the water on their bruce foils.

i love the sound track, sailing and ending of this one

Wouter,

For those of us too dumb to find the website, would you mind posting a link. Thanks.

Here is one...http://technorati.com/videos/youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DQTFLLZh-3Y4

What's YOUR favorite youtube sailing video?

My current favorite is this Kite Board video of my teammates brother. Adam has been Red Bulls pro rider for several years.

If you watch only 30 seconds of it - do not miss the 2:40 mark... The wave surfing at 6:30 is amazing as well.

Always been a fan of this these as well:

http://www.quantumsails.com/QuantumTV/Default.aspx We had a couple days in Hyeres that were just like this in 2007 - sustained high 20s on the runs.

Clearly this one:

This is one of my favorites....hanging a kite-board kite off the front of a beach cat and hanging on....and in the warm water of Hawaii.....waaaa hoooo:

I do like watching myself ;-)

And one of the coolest cat races in the world:

This one gets my vote best sailor and best music.

Youtube. trouble

Everybody.

http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=FWINygISxDE

I giggle every time I watch this video. Watching the kite sailors and the wind surfers flying along and then the big Tri pass like they're standing still, and then the wake boarding behind the obviously not powered up tri is even better!!!

I've got a 14 min high resolution report on this very event. It is about 70 MB in windows media file format.

I has most of the footage seen in the 4 min youtube clip plus additional footage and interviews with various windsurfers, sailors and explanations. Especially on how the orma 60's are lifted clear of the water on their curved foils at these speeds. Language is French however.

If anybody is interested or has some 70 mb of free space on their webpage then I'll be willing to upload this file.

hi all,
been impressed enough with everyone's cat sailing videos that i've tried to make my own

not particularly good sailing sequences but i was having such fun with the included video editing software on my borrowed macbook that i wanted to get something out

uploaded to vimeo instead of youtube because of youtube's new policy of deleting unauthorised soundtracks

plus vimeo is higher quality and viewers can download the video if they like

http://www.vimeo.com/5075989

kind of a companion video, same lake and boat, to a gps video i made last year

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNAsxV1ltMU&feature=channel_page

Nice vinyls on that sail. And on that hull. Is that the same boat as the one you posted back in the days ? If it is you've cleaned up that boat really well since!

yes, same boat after a lot of thought and hours but very little money

as all the graphics were painted on with basic enamel paint, even the sail!

boat name was made on computer with office's chiller font, each letter printed off as a whole page A4, then blown up to A3 on a copier and cut out to act as a stencil

"nacra 5.2" on stern was photographed from the peeling factory sticker amidships and then printed/enlarged/cut out as a stencil

nacra on mast same, but letters were enlarged further and arranged vertically, (idea copied from capricorn?)

white tiger head ripped off from sailing anarchy's flying tiger boat, copied to A4, into 1cm grid and then grid enlarged 10 times and transferred to sail(with permission of bob perry)

and eyes on inner bows copied from those guys that crossed the atlantic on a 20foot cat a year or 2 ago

so not very original but it has certainly jazzed up an all white boat with white sail into something better looking than the pile of moldy green parts i was offered piled under a tree 3 years ago

erice,

very nice video man.

well done!

Well done indeed! So who's gonna start the CS:Online Video School for those of us who are technically challenged?

I think there is a virtual competition, year end gala in here somewhere.

Its really not that difficult tbh. I taught myself how to use the basic features of adobe premier in about an hour.

Now all I need is a quad core processor to make it not brutally painful to run.

Did you get your hat back?

Mac's make video editing very easy with built in software (imovie hd)...

Very nice... clear, sounds great!.. like the tiger roar at the end to.. nice touch.
what kind of camera . . .

Thanks guys ..... I can't wipe the smile off my face.

The "Defilee Petit Navire" always makes me just want to go sailing .... FAST!!!!

Eric, your vid is great .... and you pointed out what my boat needs .... "eyes" to keep the evil spirits away. Loved the sound track, who is it???

So now you got me in the mood .... this weekend a beach cat race .... then all of July I'll be racing on a 43' Corsair Tri (Triple Threat) ..... Yaa-Hoo

Thanks for "Pumping me up" ..... Look out you "Monomorans"


Harry Murphey

I'm with Karl... is there a sequel planned where we find out if that hat makes it?

Nicely done - best looking 5.2 I've seen in a long time. One minor critique - center that traveler going upwind. The breeze looked very manageable - travel down that couple of inches when your still overpowered with full cunningham on.

Travel up and trap lower

I thought the same thing about the traveler, but i thought perhaps boats work differently in Japan....

I thought for a moment you were going to demonstrate a solo MOB maneuver with the hat. Nice 5.2, and cool vid! Mine looks lots and lots worse. Me want more, me want more (etc)

Love the videos on www.youtube.com/user/itstillertime Great video of an RC 33, radio controlled cat, and the best learn-to-sail video for catamarans ever.

She does make a purty video (in both substance and aesthetics)

no, i'm afraid the hat was history

but then what the lake takes away it gives back again, while kayaking around i've pulled out lots of hats, a wind breaker, life jacket, the fenders i use as boat rollers etc

the iMovie software on the mac was very intuitive, the only time i had to hit F1 for help was in fading out the soundtrack. the title, ending, fade outs etc. are built in to software. even the tiger roar and growl are standard sound effects inside iMovie

music is a track called "thrills" by an odd ball group called "cake" that i quite like. bit of an in joke as the community here was founded by missionaries

i think the traveller is as centered as possible, but can trap lower

the camera is an pentax optio w60, made a little box for it that was strapped to the lower mast for some clips and also some clips with it mounted on a tin plate screwed to the front of an old bicycle helmet

hoping to get the camera on the spreaders and at mast top this year

thanks for the encouragement

Okay I'll play as well. Here are my first two, and so far only videos. Enjoy.

You Tube Sailing Video
Youtube Sailing Video 2

I don't think this one has made this thread yet... new favorite for me this spring!!

ACats at Ft. Myers

I share this one with Tornado Alive, its keeping me going through this nasty winter!

At 2.50.. what system do you use to raise the dagger board? That looked rather quick and smooth..

Its not a catsailing video but definetly one of my favorites:

Capricorns have a strap that attaches to the board half way down so that a pull on it at the right time will lift the leeward board from the windward side. Nifty. It has now made an appearance on Infusions too.

And Wildcats and Tigers...

Odd ball group?? That's my brother in law your talking about. I'm sure he's glad you like the music though.

HA!! I never thought of the boom to mount the camera! Perfect! Thanks Stephen!

I don't think I saw this one posted above.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuRvujRFsjY

I like Cake! both the group and the chocolate kind!

The band made a great reamake of the song from the Muppet's (at least thats how i know the song) called "Mahna Mahna" check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypVe2DbhxXQ

my cake favorite track

"i bombed korea every night"

must have come from somewhere

ask him where?

Sorry fellas - that was an A-cat thing long before it showed up on an F18. It's even niftier to see someone pop the leeward board from the windward hull.

yes that was on a Boyer (spelling?) A-cat i sailed late winter.. i thought it was a neat little feature

nice vid of the UK Tornado Nats in 2006

Question...

Name the film that video #1 gets its music from?

sounds like a moriconi? western, magnificent 7???

This one is so funny
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9WMSxV6lMs

and this one
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSdxqIBfEAw&feature=related

It is part of the soundtrack of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" from Sergio Leone. The title of the song is "The Ecstasy of Gold".

Cheers,

Klaus

Haven't heard that track in years after I scratched my GB&U album.

One of my favs

Colin, I really hate to ask, BUT how at approx 3:36 did you guys go from flying a hull to capsized on the other side??? A blown tack, but maybe because you were TOO aggressive on the Roll Tack Stuff??? All Joking aside, can anyone tell me what went wrong??? I'm always willing to TRY To Learn from others mistakes (But usually, I have to repeat them a few dozen times myself)!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4BCSKTbB98&feature=related

Note the guys on the spi pole at the end !


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZDS3miKQCc&feature=related

In this video let the scenery sink in. It is a quiet video but the seastate is enormous. Note that this ORMA tri is doublehanded ! No other crew then Alain and Michel. After 4:20 this video is also a good example of the right music that isn't some kind of power rock (as typical with sailind videos)

The part from 4:20 to the end is just a beautiful piece of video. And the song Text fits really well at times. Starts out with\

Welcome to your life !
There's no turning back

...

Help me make the most of
freedom and of pleasure !

And the big tri is going full on lifted to it leeward hull splashing over big waves.

Brilliant!

Enjoy !

Very nice! Looks to be running 8 - 15 ft. and they are at times flying from top to top -- awesome!

this video is also a good example of the right music that isn't some kind of power rock (as typical with sailind videos)

that terrible power rock for sailing
foolish attempt to raise viewers heart rate to similar level as sailors in video

another example here

hit the HD button for high definition 1280 wide

http://vimeo.com/5258062

the optio w60 can film at 1280 wide but the frame rate drops to 15 frames per second which seems too jerky for a helmet cam

so probably will get better videos for computer viewing by dropping to 640 wide with 30 frames per second

Yes thats it Klaus - one of my favourites

We were flying the chute and stuffed. I lost my hold in the foot strap and became seperated from the boat. I actually pulled it over on top of me as I was shriping.

And here the video of a modern beach catamaran pitchpole as filmed from the mast top.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2oTWPvkFgs&feature=related

Notice the nice butt slide that the crew makes at the start of the pitchpole.

Wouter

You're getting good, Erice.

And I can't get the music out of my head...

The other day at work, we were arguing about some over-involved project that I thought was a waste of time and everyone else didn't. At the end, I threw up my hands and said:

Look, man is born, man lives, man dies. And all is vanity.

All I needed was the beat of the music...

there was a link to this video:


Really like it, it is so low budget.

Cheers,

Klaus

that looks like 2 surf boards! what kind of boat is that?

I really love this NON SAILING VIDEO i just saw today...

He helms his boat like he drives his bloody car!

I love this one Extreme 40s crashing

A different kind of sailing I desperatly want to get into.

Actually, this one is way better

Yeah, but have you ever checked out what kind of air time it takes to keep your certificates valid? You wouldn't have much time left for sailing.
