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.

Eurosport has opted to show the final two days live, its first live sailing programming other than the Olympic Regatta. Eurosport reaches 250 million homes in 54 countries."

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.
