Seeing the action forum again reminds me of various camera mounts I've built and tried over the years. This one was offset out from the bow, looking aft.

Oh, yes the line in that shot - it's not a spinnaker sheet.... I was triggering the camera with it. An old Minolta film camera that I built into a mount that emplyed a spring-loaded "finger" that took a shot each time I pulled the line. I was a bit careless in routing it so it's in the shots. (I also did some masthead ones where the trigger line ended up less obtrusive.
Oh, yes - Tomales Bay is a great place to sail the Laser. I still go out there all the time. Windy plenty of the time.
