J Class Yachting Regatta 2012
The legend lives …. is a DVD being created by Vidibiz during the summer of 2012 that shows the magnificently majestic images of some of the greatest yachts in the world. The J Class yachts will be captured on film and in photographs, by Vidibiz, racing in both the challenging waters of Falmouth, home of the historic Clipper Yachts in the Duchy of Cornwall and later in The Solent, a mecca for all in the yacht racing world, in the centre of the South Coast of England. The J Class yachts visually represent the most spectacular sailing action in the world of classic yachts.
We will show some of the action filmed during a series of the challenging races at both locations, finishing with the classic “Hundred Guinea Cup” in which the J Class yachts race the original 75 mile America’s Cup course “clockwise” around the Isle of Wight, just as it was first raced back in the summer of 1851.
Velsheda, Lionheart, Endeavour, Ranger and Rainbow, mighty ambassadors of the growing J Class yachting family, have travelled to the UK from across the globe to meet in the Olympic summer of 2012 to challenge each other with the single objective to race and win!
Our film will show these exceptionally engineered yachts, based on designs originally conceived around 100 years ago. Each boat is crewed by a team of up to 30 and they move with immense power through tidal waters with a regal elegance and an immortal spirit that represents the absolute pinnacle of modern racing yacht design technology.
Vidibiz will show some of the history, the build up and preparation by each of these superb yachts as they get ready to approach the race line, wait for the starting flag and then powered only by the wind and tide challenge each other with that one common objective ………….. to win!
We will talk with some of the Owners, the Captains and Crew of each of the J Class yachts who tell some of the stories behind the ocean crossings and races. As we get to know them we will hear what it takes to be part of the race team and we learn something of the sporting rivalry and what it is really like to be involved with the greatest yachts in the world, Vidibiz will take you inside the J Class and show just how ……. the legend lives!
