Cowes Week 2024 - the best 10 minutes!

A compilation of clips from a pool of over 500 taken over the last week condensed into a neatly edited short film, ...in a generally chronological order!
All shots taken from the shore over the course of 5 days but from a multitude of locations and with a couple of different lenses to add some variety into the mix.
Light winds were generally the order of the day, steadily increasing as the afternoon wore on into a fresher breeze.
Sit back, turn up the music and enjoy the spectacle that is Cowes Week.

Well done Paul! I watched the video on the TV. Spectacular pictures of a beautiful regatta. And so many old boats: nice to see!
Greetings, Moni Yasseri

Thank you Moni 🙏 ....Under the right conditions, it is a 'feast for the eyes' and not difficult to get some nice shots of all the boats from the shore.

[@Monscha-Dive4]

maybe easy to film, but in the video editing you can see the trained photographic eye👍

Great footage here Paul.

Damn, I miss Cowes Week!
It’s become way too commercial for my tastes but this video shows the very essence of the week, the sailing, the yachts and the skippers and crews that it should be about…..

👍 cheers Robin

Is that typical weather for Cowes this time of year?

[@paulknights3701]

Over the course of the week, there was sun, there was cloud, there was some wind, sometimes no wind.... Yes, I'd say it was typical 🙂
