Even crews participating in the Swiftsure race use the model data. To be sure, this is NOT a profit generating site. Any donations collected over time have gone ...

Nice video Greg! I also like the race scene. I agree with BWD, it will be very cool to see a big swell day at Gordos!

Any RC pilots out there? OK, I think the spare cam should be a roaming drone, searching the coast for great wind and waves. http://video.google.fr/videoplay?docid= ... 3453839215
