Xcorps TV cameras were rolling off the coast of San Diego filming the largest pro sailing event in the US - the Helly Hansen National Offshore One Design Regatta known as the NOOD Sail Races where more than 100 boat teams competed during the three day wind powered event under primo southern California weather conditions.
This XCTV Special Presentation is hosted by San Diego Yacht Club’s presenter Emily Willhoft.
XCTV cameras were on board the official PRESS chase boat as well as recording video on an event race boat the ‘Sweet Okole’ skippered by owner Rick Harris.
A steady 12 knot ocean wind kept the action moving and the spinnakers tight around the marks along the 2 ocean courses as well as a San Diego south bay course past the Coronado bridge.
Check out the wild Race Action and hear the crew calls with a close up in your face POV look at a group of 3 Beneteau First 40.7’s battling for the pin with only inches to spare before bumping glass!
The overall title winner for the 3 day March 18-20 event went to J/70 class Bruce Golison from Rossmoor California piloting ‘Mid Life Crisis’. Bruce gets to race now in the British Virgin Islands Helly Hansen NOOD championships in October!
Great multi artist music powering this XCTV Action Sports full spinnaker video segment from musical artists BITERS KISS with the song ‘No One Will’, a jazzy piece rolling the action from Deanna Bogart and a closing number from Grant Olsen and the song ‘Street Dance In LA’.
