2) SailingNews.tv
This online sailing channel is one of my favorite. It would be the top one except that most of the videos are in french (I have to improve it!) and do not have a translation to english. On the other hand, I really like the background music of the videos.
This video, have a summary of the best moments during 2009. This is the best I found out on the web. (refer to the timeline for each regatta).

1) Tornado
Camera on board Team New Zealand Tornado´s (Aaron Macintosh and Mark Kennedy) in Cadiz, Spain. The cameras are located at the top of the mast and the bowsprit. You can see spinnaker hoists, jibe´s, etc … I really like it! (Unfortunately, Tornado is not in the Olympics any more )

2) Laser
Want to feel aboard a Laser flying? In this video you can see and feel on board a laser (FRA 156449) in an excellent position navigation (with a knock down included). Enjoy it!

3) Groupama 3
Video aboard Groupama in his bid to win the Jules Verne Trophy. You can see this incredible trimaran sailing at 30 kts (at this moment the were running over 700 miles in 24 hours). From minute 2, it would be interesting for sailors with a “technical” profile. You can see how does the leeward pontoon keel of the trimaran works.

4) F18
Very good video on board the F18. (Juan Faustin & Lucas Gonzalez Smith [ARG]). I really wanted to sail. They go really  fast!. I would prefered to see some maneuvering on board. May be next time.

1) Knock Down for everyone!
This is the best I saw anywhere. It has knock down from nearly all international one-design classes. I could not take my eyes out from the screen.

2) Skiff beyond the limit.
I’d  really  love to sail these boats. This video shows a lot of accidents with Skiff’s (sailing with over 20 knots of wind), but the best and fearing accident occur at 3:34 min. Do not miss it.

3) 49er accidents
I imagine that the crew of these sailng beasts have suffered this accidents more than once. If you would like to to sail a 49er, be prepeared for this adrenaline moments.
