CDH productions did a great job following us up the coast. I'm sure there are some good interviews with all the teams.

our 15 seconds of fame !!----again

Hey Jake -

What'd you give them to shoot you from that angle? My wife thinks you're 6-foot tall now.

Great production.., the best I have ever seen on these great distance races. The on the water videography really capped it off.., and then I noticed in the credits that Brian Karr was the guy that set it up.., Cudos to Brian!

Finally some great exposure to this wonderful sport.

I recommend we all send an email to OLN on what a great job they did and how much we appreciate it. They will get your email at feedback@olntv.com

Cool,
Rick

I sent my feedback. I thought the production was fabulous! Video from the beach, from the water, from the air, and from onboard the boats, plus interviews with the sailors. The best thing I have seen for beach-cat sailors since the National Geographic Special on the Worrell 1000 back in the 1980's.

Wha? Huh? What do you mean? What are you trying to say?

That was a great program! Can you imagine what the coverage would have been like if the conditions were challenging!?

Actually, I think it was perfect. If conditions had been worse, it might have been difficult, if not impossible, to get any video from powerboats, and the onboard cameras probably would have looked like they were under a waterfall.

Granted, the launchings and landings looked pretty tame.

Will the special be aired (aired?) again?

Jake your famous !

Couldn,t stand not seeing it and drove over to a local sports bar and asked them to put on OLN TV -the nice gal at the Friends handed the channel changer over ,-really nice ,--just caught the last portion of IT ,but saw your interview beach spot --'"hitting the fish ",--good one Jake .

have fun -

Write to the e-mail address that Rick gave you and ask them.

I believe it is scheduled to air again in August. Most of the Teams should be getting a DVD from the production company too.

That was a big freakin' fish - whatever it was! I was hoping they had footage of us healing the boat over 45 degrees in the surf to get the daggerboard unjammed...but nobody would probably be able to tell what was happening there.

I think the credits were fabulous

Mary, the cams work very well regardless of the conditions except for very low light. The units are completely submersible. Check out the videos on www.F18NAOnline.com of the Ingrams and Hubels flipping, the cams keep working!

In the OLN show you will notice a rudder cam shot with the waves breaking right over the camera, the water pretty much clears right off.

At the F18 North Americans this August we will also be trying out some RF based cams.

Brian Karr

Brian, what is an RF based cam? What will it give you that you don't have now?

I feel like they could have shown some more sailing. Interviews about where you are from are ok, but they will not attract anyone to the sport. My girlfriend sat through the whole thing (probably because I was so excited about it), so that is saying something

Sailing on TV always makes my day.

Matt

ahh, I missed it. Tad, did you happen to record it?
