First, check out the video of yesterday's racing on the Valencia Sailing website. Bloody spectular job Sam Usher and his team from Narrowstep are doing here with the TV: onboard cameramen, brilliant heli shots, clear, stable shots from the camera boat; the racing is shown live throughout the venue including a huge screen on the public-event stage, and at times live on German TV; highlights packages are being sent by satellite to broadcasters the world over each evening.

Then, if you are anywhere near Kiel, or have friends who are, the promenade is the place to be -- or on one of over 1,000 spectator boats expected today and tomorrow. Yesterday the RC said they had over 200 spectator boats.
