DN Video: Ride Along with Jim & Ludwig


Jim McDonagh’s US5219 second video from the 2017 DN North American championship sailed on Green Bay near Peshtigo, WI.
“Enjoy the dramatic music with my close calls, near misses, and losing the battle with Rob Evans. The first lap was strangely in sync with the music. I left the rest of the race because it’s youtube, and who watches it to the end anyway. 😉 but you can if you want.”
