Old yachting footage

Before television folks went to the movies. They got to ‘see’ the news clips on Pathe News.

There are some interesting and some ‘quaint’ items on this page.

Look at the Fleetwood item (1939) and the old Americas Cup items.

FANTASTIC !!! John,

I really enjoyed a lot.
Many thanks for this revival.
I appreciated particularly the “A” models racing with their steering vanes including the classic 'stok" used to deviate the course and changing board.
Thanks again
