The loose wobbly wheel in the first one cracked me up as did the twisted kite. Great video quality in that one too.

Seagull certainly build great yachts. I want a Standart but $10,000 says no.

In the 1st video - S290 , thats me !

All of the Standarts we have in Ireland came from either France, Germany or UK as second hands several yrs old. As its a one design we are still very competitive , we just need to change a few parts now and then unlike the folks with newer ones. Cost new ?5700 we paid average of ?2000 - great class , and its great to sail with people from all over the world and be in the pack. One design at its best.
Why dont ye look at hiring Standarts for the Worlds this October in De Panne (I believe they will have some for far off countries) and join the rest of the world for some fun !

My friend Tommy in La Franqui, 2007, Seagull XL. Indeed, a movie, not a video The mast cam is a normal camera on a stand.
