The J/80s sailing off Santander, Spain
are starting to document some of their adventures sailing against one
another. Not a bad fleet to learn from! Just a few J/80 World Champions
in Spain and the tops guys are from Santander-- including the two most
recent J/80 World Champs. Here are a selection of videos from various
boats. For the ESP 880 team- here's their commentary- "Great sailing conditions. NW wind ranging 18-25 knots. Gusty with rain squalls. Recorded while attending regular fleet racing. Unfortunately, I lost a GoPro2 attached to the bow-sprit in the process. Don't worry, a new one is on the way! Javier Lopez-Vazquez helming on ESP 880." The skipper of NEXTEL ENGINEERING is Ignacio Camino and, of course, the leader of ECC VIVIENDAS is Pichu Torcida. Good perspectives on sail trim, body movements, boat positioning on waves and boat-for-boat positioning- very informative and instructional!
