I've been adding the videos as and when they're produced to the daily reports - great view of the startline! Latest embedded on http://www.yachtsandyachting.com/news/178354/PandB-Merlin-nationals-at-Looe-day-4

I agree with Iain C. Stu B on those reaches looked so smooth, so much more in control than some.

Absolutely fantastic footage of Stu B and Tom P absolutely sending it down the reaches.
 
The Day 1 & 2 footage is a classic example of how to sail a Merlin downwind in overpowered conditions.
 
The Day 3 footage includes 2 minute master class of how to sail Merlins sailing downwind in 18 or so knots.
 
Well worth watching.  Thumbs Up

Outstanding footage! Much better than another bout of nauseating go-pro stuff.
The main problem, if anything, is that it makes the conditions look less severe than they are!

Excellent stuff and a good advert for Looe SC
Like some other things - sailing is more enjoyable when you do it with someone else
