Winter Fun - Post your favorite YouTube video

[njmedic3306]

I hope I don't get slammed for this but lets have some. It's winter and I bet some of us are dreaming of spring. So how about posting your favorite Youtube sailing videos. They don't even have to be Hunter related. Just 2 simple rules, post the title about the video to avoid duplicates and make them about sailing.

So there is a technical question in here let me ask, does anyone know how to build/buy one of the kite cameras found in the final video? That would be so cool to watch me fumble on the deck from above.

NJMedic, there is a Flickr forum all about KAP (Kite Aerial Photography) that has tons of links and instructions on how to build the rigs.

I've been getting a kick out of watching the Halyard Catapulting videos on Youtube lately, looks like some insane reckless fun!

I am new to sailing however my friend always said knot tying is so important when sailing. Certain knots you should know if you ever get in a bad situation. So for those novices like myself maybe knot tying in the colder months is a great way to prepare for the spring thaw.

I know I need a life but I will be getting a 3 foot section of rope and here we go....If you think there are some basic needed knots search Youtube and feel free to post......

A few KAP shots(sorry no vids) from our boat. The link posted at the top post put together by the Berkley student sailing solo to Hawaii lit my fire for KAP a few yrs ago but it's pretty complicated on-board.

Maybe some 3D vids would be even better. Fuji makes a decent 3D camera w/vid that somebody should hoist or just do a pole mount hung from the leeward rail on a honkin' day

Paladin's video link looks to be on an older Island Packet. Done that on a friend's 43 then 48 ft IP a number of times, out of Rock Hall - great place to sail (tho we never did Baltimore - only Annapolis, St Michael's, and some of the surrounding creeks).
