Hi Everyone
Here is an update from Randy Shelton from Colorado Coconuts and the video production of the 2010 NA's.

Hello U20 Fleet:
The U20 North Americans 2010 film is coming along great. We certainly are having no problems with people being camera shy or with shots of poor racing skills, as the fleet is obviously very skilled, but the main problem we are having is that the film is still just too dang long (over two hours still) and we have to cut a lot more footage to get it into a more viewable time frame. Unfortunately difficult choices are putting some good clips on the editing bay floor. And in case your wondering, yes every participating boat is in the current version, and always looking good! well almost always. In addition to just a little bit of racing there are also shots of boat measurements, registration, interviews, shore activities, debriefings, of course a few embarrassing moments as well. I think it’s the best sailing movie ever made, because all of you participated in it.
In our effort to make this film as good as we can for the U20 Fleet, We hope to have a "rough draft preview" sometime in October, then make some final revisions based on the feedback we receive. Then hopefully we will be looking at late October for a release date. We will keep you posted on the progress.
Thanks
