I'm looking for some up to date video clips of laser racing, preferably inland/light wind stuff, anyone have some good links or clips they can post? The only one we appear to have on the site is from the 70's - great but like to see something more up to date!
 
I presume you already know about the Boat Whisperer, Sail Coach, Ben Ainslie & so on instructional CDs/DVDs? Available from the Laser Class among many other sources.

Have you tried Youtube? I punched in "Laser Sailing" in their search bar and it came up with a couple dozen clips (including the Laser slalom from the '70's, but also some lighter wind clips too).

Youtube.com Laser Clips

Laser Hurricane Sailing!!! Pretty Cool, even if it's not quite what you were asking for.

Supposedly http://www.t2p.tv has some Laser video (like 2005 4.7 Worlds) but I couldn't find it on their site (maybe you need to login. . .).

Sailing Video.com has a Laser Masters and Orange Bowl video for sale.

Does anyone have any other links they can share?

Does anyone know of any inexpensive WATERPROOF cameras that could be used for a do-it-yourself Laser sailing project? I'm vain and want to tape myself sailing. ;-)

Use your digital camera that has video function and one of these pouches http://www.aquapac.com.au for $AUD160. Tie on a lanyard then loop in under your centerboard shockcord - make sure you film yourself capsizing and watch the horizon roll. Cool fun.
