Recall we had some discussion about Roy Disney's Morning Light. It is worth seeing and buying for sure. Well, I wasn't aware Roy had made one in 1978 about the Newport Beach / Ensenada BC race. I don't remember where I got it, but you can get it through Amazon. I think I paid less tho.
Anyhow, it is great fun to see the 70's again. Big collars, big hair. Everyone smoking. No harnesses, life vests, GPS's. I don't think Loran was even in yet. It certainly isn't PC. Great boat scenes often from a crew perspective. A good chunk was filmed aboard the Spencer 62 "Ragtime", the daddy of downwind sleds (and which won the Tahiti race last year as I recall).
Enjoy.
