“I was asked by Anthony Kotoun and Matt Knowles to shoot this event for 11th Hour Racing and Line Honors this past March in Key Largo, Florida. There wasn’t much breeze and out of the three days of planned racing we got in one days racing. But that one day was amazing! What a great boat to shoot. I used the Canon XF 300 mounted on a EasyRig with a Kenyon 8×8 gyro to keep the camera steady. For the aerials I used a Phantom One with a GoPro and next time will be using the new Sea Hex six engine waterproof drone! Cant wait to get that puppy airborne. We also used two GoPro cameras mounted on the boats and rigs and they picked up the action very well from their different vantage points. I am looking forward to the next event in Rhode Island!.
A big thank you to Adrian van der Wal for his help on location in Key Largo with hauling the gear around and flying the drone over the yacht club and race area and to Tate MacDowell for an excellent job on the edit of the video.”
