(August 28, 2009) For the 98 boats competing this week in the 2009 505 World Championship in San Francisco, CA, they all knew the conditions would be extreme, with the big wind and waves showing little mercy on the fleet. This week's videos include onboard footage with top Americans Nick Adamson and Steve Bourdow while they train at 'The Gorge' in Oregon, and then several videos taken during the Worlds.
