I think the Preadator headcams are probably the best for quality. Here is a youtube link http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=eWGzRWKgjMM . We tested one on the 12ft skiff and it was great!
Needs to sail more...

predators are bloody expensive though!

if you want cheap and cheerful get the Oregon Scientific
ATC3K action camera. its small, waterproof and can
record up to 2 hours at a time on a 4gb memory card. the
sound isnt very good (theres lots of noise) but all your
really going to hear in a boat is the shshshshhhhing of
water and the helm shouting at the crew and vice versa.

BARGAIN at only £99

ive looked at that one but i think it records less frames per second meaning it wont capture as well and will be more blurry

Quality vs. price, I'm afraid. The expensive ones are far better!

The ATC2K or 3K are the best on price - they do the job. Remember that YouTube lowers the quality of footage posted on there anyway.

It's also worth thinking about the quality of the footage that you are after: A cam strapped to a boom/deck/your head never gives you the footage that you hope for!

Maybe two of the ATC3Ks? One on the deck, one on your head? Should be adequate for training purposes... And you've still got one spare camera for when the other one inevitably goes down to Davy Jones' Locker.

Great vid and good quality.  Well impressed by that.

Makes me want to go windsurfing now - unfortunately I haven't got skills like that
