I dont want to detract from the excellent content of this great DVD, but i would like to make the following petty comment:

The DVD has no chapters so you cant skip to the part you want to see

This means you have to hold your finger on the scan button for 20 mins or so if you only want to see the last leg of the race, or play the whole film through from beginning to end every time.

On most machines a fast forward only takes a couple of minutes to run over 90mins,but I feel I must make the following point though.
Try going to London in the 70`s several times to pick up cine films of CTC races,then paying to have them converted to VHS,and then returning them,or editing out every 12secs of cine over a 10hr period,which is what you had to do then to obtain a record of the sport,then you come to appreciate the work anyone does to get a film made.Be thankful these films long or short are there for you to enjoy.Pre VHS days films were rare and this is when there were big fields of top boats,so to have a 90min unsponsored film for £18 is by yesterdays standards a real bargin.

Just checked BPRC website, shipping starts 25th, DOH!

Sorry for the delay, am still waiting for them to come back from the company doing the copying. Should have been with us by now but have been assured that they will now be with us by Wednesday next week (29th) and will start to post them out then.

Just watched the film and its brilliant fantastic superb. Thanks Mike and your team for putting on the greatest race and adventure of all time.

It's so great that it must happen again hopefully in 2012.
