Colne Smack Match 2020

Gorgeous. Amazing that those windward shrouds can take the strain.

What a fabulous day of racing , smooth seas, decent wind, great light and beautifully prepared smacks hanging every sail up, all brought on some wonderful drone/arial footage. 40 years ago some of these smacks were barely hanging on as mast less fishing boats. So glad the have got rescued and fixed up with lots of dedicated work! Thanks for posting! Cheers Warren

Thanks, I really enjoyed that+++

You were using a 360 camera on these shots what was the model please

[@lurch1e]

No, not a 360 camera. The drone footage was from a DJI Phantom 2 Advanced and the action cam is a Garmin Virb XE.

[@MrBobwillis]

Many thanks I just assumed, I knew there was drone work as well they make great subjects I'd some work last year with the cone race and be there this weekend

I think the designers of these boats saw a Narwhal and said…hey. I could make a sail boat that looks just like that
