With the quick acceptance of the waterproof, mountable, compact video cameras (Go Pro and the like), there are a whole slew of onboard dinghy sailing videos popping up on YouTube. Most of them are very boring. Each week, there seems to be an average of two of three onboard videos of Lasers and their skippers taken from the same angle, bow aft, the camera strapped to the bow fairlead..... Yawn!
There are exceptions. This entertaining video of 49'er skiffs training off Clearwater Florida uses a mix of masthead shots, helmet cam shots and video taken from a chase boat. Watching a tacking duel between two 49'ers, with the elite athletes going wire to wire, is mesmerizing.
