Interesting video series...
Here's a youtube video series that some of you may enjoy... no fantastic high speed sailing, but a well produced documentary of a Brit's slow voyage around the British Isles in a Mirror Offshore 19 footer. More travelogue than anything, really, with good use of Google Earth and pretty high quality production.. in fact it wouldn't surprise me if the guy is a professional voice-over type.

That will get you part one, the rest are in the related listings. I've seen the first 8 so far, quite enjoyable.. they average 4-6 minutes each, so set aside some time before you start!
These first 8 have only got him 100 or so miles into the 2000 he plans, so there are a lot of bits. Interesting views of British harbours, "mud berths", and other things not normally seen on our side of the pond.
I've enjoyed them so far, YMMV.
