Online video coverage from Qingdao
I missed the live online coverage of the first day of Finn and Yngling sailing, but did find that they are archiving the footage. You can find the video link on the “Results & Schedule” page by clicking the “rewind” button.
For the video player to work, you’ll have to install the Microsoft Silverlight plug-in (which is similar to the Flash plug-in) and then watch an ad. I clicked the Finn link and it started a Yngling race, so I guess there might be some bugs, or it’s all in one long clip.
The footage doesn’t include any commentary, but it is high quality. With the big sail numbers, you can easily pick out boats on the course. There are a number of different cameras in the air and on the race course. The different perspectives make it very easy to follow the racing.
This is really top-notch and exciting for sailing!
