Video of the week

Originally posted by rb_stretch Excuse my ignorance, but where is the 360 in that 360 video? Looked like a normal wide angle lens to me.

Move the camera with the arrows in the top left corner

Originally posted by boatshed I think this was the video that should have shown in the above post.  I think it looks great!  Well done.   You'll have to click  or copy paste on the youtube link.  Feck knows how one makes these links just work https://youtu.be/fsOTjI7wi7Y

OK, still in the camp that thinks the look of it is way way too close to white goods and far from 'cool' however, seeing it launched and sailing, I want a go!

Think all I can do is to repeat my SA post:

Its probably inevitable that if you shave every last dollar off the cost there's a tendency to look as if you've been shaving dollars off the cost. But its just like weight saving: you don't need to compromise on it very much before you find you've compromised it completely.

There's certainly a place for immaculate super elegant boutique craft, and the Clarks have built plenty of them. However that place represents maybe about three boats a year and does exactly nothing to grow the sport. Even more so now that western society is tending to split into an executive class with loads of resources (who would tend to run status filled leadmines) and the vast body of people who can barely afford a boat at all.
