(Santander, Spain)- Over the past few months, the J/80 Santander fleet in Spain has had Santiago Fiochi conduct
on-going video sessions and fleet seminars on how to sail J/80s better
and faster. If you want to answer some questions about how you defend
yourself better on starting lines with an aggressive J/80 fleet, here's
some good instructional video. In this particular video (of the dozen or so available on Santiago's "YouTube channel"), it's the first race in the VIII Trofeo Autoridad Portuaria de Santander on Santander Bay on-board ESP 880 with Spanish champion Javier López-Vázquez helming. Winds are in the 4-12 knot range. It was recorded with GoPro Hero 2s mounted on both the boom and a mast camera. Check out the J/80 sailing video here.
