The Draw Bridge Video
by Jake on Dec.12, 2006, under Racing!
FINALLY! I got the draw bridge video off my corrupted PC and got it up on the site. This is a rather large 180Mb download but it’s a pretty neat 8.5 minute video of the boats trying to make it through the draw bridge and the healthy current to get to the start line of the Steeplechase. Download by right clicking the image below and choosing “save as”. Then play it once it’s downloaded. Thanks to Robin and Wendy for taking the video!
EDIT: Sorry folks…the size and the number of downloads of this video has overwhelmed my server hosting account. Over 180Gb of this video has been downloaded and I had to remove the link to avoid having things frozen for the rest of the month. I’ll upload it to a video host somewhere to avoid this soon.
EDIT 2: finally got it uploaded to dailymotion.com….it appears a little jerky to me though…darnit. For those who don’t know us, our Team Seacats Nacra 20 is the one with the blue hulls. Chris and David are on one of the white Nacra 20′s but can be identified by their sail graphics (the top still has the Team Seacats cat-head on it and the SailMax.biz logo).

stunning – i’ve never gotten such a good workout while sitting in front of my computer. sympathetic paddling – probably didn’t help you much, but i just couldn’t help it.

John,
Jake obviously thought his over – 40 crew had been roidin’ up for this year’s race – NOT!
My arms are still tired – Jake “finally” threw his big guns into mix on the last effort….
