Dragon Boat West

Let's get the race video postings started with a bang... Here is the complete Guts & Glory race! Great racing and steering as always in the G&G!

The video was too long for youtube and had to be split up into two parts.
Use the links above to watch the videos in youtube's high quality setting.

One of the DBW admins managed to find this video of the women's guts & glory:

Sorry, we were all on the waterr or prepping to race at the time.

Anyone have videos of Rec A finals?

Yes, please post if you got them!

Does anyone have a video of the Comp C Championship race with an audibly good recording of the play-by-play?  I'd like to obtain the sound from it if anyone has it.  Thanks.

you asked for it.. well here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSaa06ShHIw  ..
the video might be a little off.. since you will be seeing raceface a bit.. but its filmed by my dad.. ahahah
but either way enjoy !!...

ANYBODY HAVE REC C FINAL???? i want to watch the race from other point of views.. rather then my video

rec C final featured
1st raceface
2nd gvrd 44 cheeks
3rd cns insurance RRRamming speed

thanks !!!!

does anyone happen to have a video for the junior a championships? i know that one was really close (about a second between Laoyam and the 3rd place team), and the ones i've seen aren't really that good.

Awwww that was our worst race. Not the fact that it was a qualifier... but the yacht threw us off. The one who made us and raceface go around the other 5 boats again and re-align, there was a huge delay! It was a VIP boat, I think the chairperson for Concord was on it :x I guess he needed a closer look at us hotties. However it did end up to be our best personal record (thanks to tailwind)

It was also when this happened:
