The so called "race finish" clip is not a finish at all!

http://www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=40718 is the 1954 race

http://www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=59327 is the 1950 race

http://www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=42421 is the 1962 Tideway race.

There may well be other N12 clips around too.

Would be great to have one of these running alongside a vid of modern 12's at the dinghy show!

Sam / Jeremy, we have a Pathe clip in the 12 video library already along with some other vintage stuff from Weymouth and Trent Vally. I'll bring a disc to Burghfield some time
