Sailing is rarely on the TV and when it is, we miss it because we are out sailing Mark, can we have a forum for this, so that we can all set our videos? To kick things off.... The Volvo Ocean Race will be on ITV4, Friday nights at 6pm starting November 18. Starting in January, ITV1 will carry a monthly, hour long round up programme on Sundays at 1pm.

From an article on SailWorld.com "The Swedish Match Tour’s 50th anniversary event, the Monsoon Cup (Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia, Nov. 29-Dec. 4), will be broadcast live to nearly 450 million homes in Europe and Asia. There are other programmes mentioned but as I'm too tight to pay for Sky / Eurosport and I'm not that bothered about watching big boat 'Yotting' I quickly lost interest!

You can get Eurosport via Freeview if you subscribe to TopUp TV. It's cheap and you don't have to have an ugly dish on your house. Rick ------------- |

There's a brilliant new TV series about boat Renovation and sailing on
Discovery Real Time at 9pm on Wednesdays. You need dig tv or sky, it's presented by Tom Cunliffe and it's a bit like Grand Designs for boats. I wuld highly recommend it. Dave. |

Thanks for the tip on ch 435. Nice to see some sailing on TV! However, you'd have thought that bearing in mind the cost of making a TV programme, they might just the script checked by a sailor first! Just sat through a painful programme about the Copa del Rey 2004, translated from Spanish to English, and it included such gems as... "At the end of the first close hauled, Caixagalicia was ahead...." "All of the top rudders were at the regatta..." "...and they were the first boat to cross the arrival line" "It became a monotypical regatta...in other words you needed a bit of luck!" "The boat has a very good compensation" (you mean handicap I take it?) Dear oh dear... ------------- RS700 GBR922 "Wirespeed" Fireball GBR14474 "Eleven Parsecs" Enterprise GBR21970 Bavaria 32 GBR4755L "Adastra" |

how about an on-line direct translation whilst the programme is on air??? is your sailing vocab up to it?? |

My sailing vocab is better in English than it is in French, because I've only ever sailed in England, with English speakers. However, the efforts I'm making to learn the correct terms in French seem to be a little pointless, as demonstrated in that "Team Nissan Hobie surfing video" in La Tranche. The French helm explains their capsize: "Le bateau, il a gybé tout seul et on s'est retrouvé dans la mousse." Gybé......... Why bother.... ------------- http://www.lancingsc.org.uk/index.html - Lancing SC
