Why is there so little Sailing coverage on TV?
Sailing is one of the most popular sports in the UK but there is very little TV coverage (unless you buy it from Sky - even then its seldom shown outside of the Whitbread / Volvo timetable). Perhaps its because sailing is better to do than to watch. Anyway here is a link to U-tube which has lots of sailing footage to choose from.
Now Yachting Monthly have their own YouTube channel with various interesting video demonstrations.
