Performance Race Week - ST Thomas March - Sunday Drone With Audio

Описание: Onboard. Mic’d up. And now… from above.

This edition combines cockpit audio with stunning drone footage from the same race at St. Thomas International Regatta, hosted by the St. Thomas Yacht Club and the St. Thomas Sailing Center, racing aboard an IC24 Class.

You don’t just hear the decisions — you see how they play out.

From the rail:
• Starts and time-on-distance
• Acceleration mode (“first gear”)
• Tacks, gybes, and crew choreography
• Sail trim adjustments managing angle of attack, twist & draft
• Real-time strategy, tactics, and rules conversations

From the sky:
• Lane control and separation
• Relative boat speed
• Mark approaches and exits
• Tactical positioning within the fleet
• How small gains turn into real leverage

At the helm: Terry Foster — balancing pace, pressure, and positioning.
On trim: Shala Youngerman — building power and shifting gears.
On the bow: Bobby Brooks — forever young and making every maneuver clean.

And mic’d up in the middle of it all: Andrew Kerr — coaching live as the race unfolds.

This is performance sailing in 360°.
The communication.
The movement.
The geometry.

No hindsight breakdown.
No studio voiceover.
Just live thinking — paired with the aerial view that reveals why it matters.
