Banque Populaire V, 14minute film on the Jules Verne Trophy

This fantastic film follows the maxi trimaran Banque Populaire V and crew on their record breaking non stop race around the world in their succesful pursuit of the Jules Verne Trophy.  There are some other videos available that cover the event in a more compressed format.  Personally I dont think I could ever get tired of watching video of this amazing boat powering through the ocean and this film integrates some excellent footage. 

 
The tracker which followed their progress in the record attempt is still available at their website.  You can replay thier progress by moving the slider to the left and pressing play.  The green trimaran shown is the previous record holder Groupama3 which was skippered by Franck Cammas.
