Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Sailing at Cowes (In Colour). DESCRIPTION: We took our colour cameras to this famous Isle of Wight anchorage, to give you a glimpse of the annual regatta week. Britannia had pride of place, for this was a Royal week. Prince Philip, a real died-in-the-wool sailor took every opportunity to get out on the water. Here he is, in his dragon-class Bluebottle. Cowes is quite a family affair, with thousands of boating folk and visitors enjoying the sailing and the social round. SHOTLIST: Key scene. GV Cowes - yachts in background. MS boarding yachts.
