What a fabulous day of racing , smooth seas, decent wind, great light and beautifully prepared smacks hanging every sail up, all brought on some wonderful drone/arial footage. 40 years ago some of these smacks were barely hanging on as mast less fishing boats. So glad the have got rescued and fixed up with lots of dedicated work! Thanks for posting! Cheers Warren
Many thanks I just assumed, I knew there was drone work as well they make great subjects I'd some work last year with the cone race and be there this weekend
Gorgeous. Amazing that those windward shrouds can take the strain.

Thanks, I really enjoyed that+++
Big fan here of your punting vids, now these classic smacks, too. Many thanks! Your videos are always of a high calibre.
Thank you.
You were using a 360 camera on these shots what was the model please
No, not a 360 camera. The drone footage was from a DJI Phantom 2 Advanced and the action cam is a Garmin Virb XE.

I think the designers of these boats saw a Narwhal and said…hey. I could make a sail boat that looks just like that
