J/Fest Sailing Video on Bayside Buzz!
(Houston, TX)- During last weekend's J/Fest Regatta sailed on Galveston Bay off
Houston, Texas, Roy Shaw took out his chase boat along with a video crew
to capture some choice moments of sailing amongst the various
one-design and PHRF fleets sailing in J/Fest. Some really amusing and
even instructional sequences of various J/22s, J/24s, J/70s, J/80s and
others rounding marks, setting chutes, going fast and amazing
demonstrations of how NOT to take down a spinnaker! Here are the
offshore video highlights, thanks to production services by Mobile
Studio Technologies LLC. Again, special thanks to Roy Shaw for providing
and driving the chase boat. https://vimeo.com/channels/thebaysidebuzz
