Good grief Mick, this is a very popular topic, how do you do it? 2298 views!
I particularly enjoyed the Russian Square-rigger video - very nicely fimed. It almost makes me want to go to sea again. Captain remided me of Rusell Crowe in Master and Commander.
Have you read the Patrick O'Brien books?

I've been looking at the Vendee Globe tracker which is interesting.
