Ditto what everyone else said (OK, maybe not the part about the puddle or drool). Looks great. Now you have to get out in it. Before the season ends.

Video can be tricky until you get some experience. I hadn't gotten any good vids until the Americas Cup World Series regatta in Newport earlier this summer. It finally started coming together a little bit.
