Good video but the Island can be a little more exciting than this. I steer all towards this Fast Lane sailing video which I still consider the absolute best advertisement for the Island ever produced:

Agree - our video is just something new - with the 2015 boats - it's not finished, we just made something and haven't listed it - thought I'd share anyway for folks who haven't yet seen the new model (even though some of the video is older - there's quite a few scenes with the new models)

I enjoyed that! 8)
Interesting to see how the reverse bow cuts through the water. Does it direct more water up over the top? In those calm conditions I was a bit surprised.
What is that hanging down in the underwater shots with the olive kayak?
I also note that there was a lot of handle holding going on.
Just sayin! :wink:
:lol:

Jacques, don't sell yourself short - I thought it was brilliant !! I held my breath when the camera submerged the first time hoping to glide with the dolphins

.. now though, you need to satiate Tom and the rest of us who are dying to see a AI2 wringing it out and strutting her stuff :wink:

Good video, interesting and enjoyable thumbs up. But I'm like Tom Kirkman I'm in the fast lane. This video sold the AI to me back in 2008. I still love this video
