X-Force - Episode 5: The Science of Sailing
This is a great video and fun to
watch. Just get a cup of coffee and set back and enjoy
what a few guys (and gals) who have and endless supply of money
do for fun...all the time. This excellent video is 1 hour
in length and very well done.
Few
yacht races can claim the legendary status of winning or even
finishing the Sydney to Hobart event. The 630 nautical mile race
takes yachts down the Australian coast and across the notorious
Bass Strait to Tasmania.
X
Force = The Science of Sailing follows the fortunes of the
66-foot Grundig, a fast, lightweight racing yacht, as she takes
on huge maxi yachts in a race across one of the most dangerous
stretches of water in the world.

"This is the definitive description for novice or
experienced sailors on the how, when and why of how to handle
spinnakers and cruising chutes.
Tom
Whidden, top racer and sail maker explains all. This is a race
winning tutorial and demonstration allowing both racers and
cruising yachts to get the best out of these sails."
