Five Large Yachts Sailing
Five large yachts sail by on a calm stretch of water, possibly a river or estuary
Overview
It is impossible to identify where this film was shot - presumably at one of the major sailing events round the coast of Britain. The filming is some way short of perfect - having been taken from a bad angle so you only see the tops of the sails. It seems unlikely it was ever screened commercially.
