Preview of the video "With Jean-de-sud" by Yves Gelinas
http://www.thesailingchannel.com/jean-du-sud/

I had the opportunity to speak with Yves Gelinas, we discussed boat design, specifically the ability to circumnav, and he told me (in fewer words) 'If you are going for a trade-winds circumnavigation, any production boat will do, just go.'!!!!

If you don't know who Yves is look him up...

Another great video series...

Dylan Winter sets off on a 2,000 mile journey around the UK. He is travelling in a 40 year old, 19 foot, £2,200 sailing boat created by a socialist newspaper. Fishing, sailing, navigation, cargo ships, tall ship, kite surfing, birds - all this and more in subsequent episodes. Beware - this is a three summer project.

http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=9D27C44BBBB3FD10

Dylan expressed to me (via email) his intentions to get this series onto the BBC, it will require people like us to post comments to his videos and send emails to him personally. So please, keep up with these videos and express your interest as best you can.

(edit)
I cannot find the email... but i just want to be clear...
Dylan expressed much concern over this matter. If he is to become syndicated on the BBC he needs our support. He told me (this was before I joined Sailfar.net) to tell everyone on all the websites and forums I could, about him and his expedition.

If you email him via youtube he will respond.

He has been very friendly to me and is a genuinely nice guy.

Why is this important?
this is sailfar.net and it is about small boats sailing long distances right?
well, Dylan is doing it as we speak (as we type).  And how better an opportunity to get 'the word' out then if he gets published on his local TV station?

Are there any DVD's out there? circumnav. eg. in small offshore sailboats? I have some, but they're all in bigger boats. would be nice too see...

I just came across this video http://www.thesailingchannel.tv/jean-du-sud/index.html

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mUMYycBCxc&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fevantica%2Eblogg%2Ese%2F&feature=player_embedded

I've always got to plug Yves Gelina's film With Jean Du Sud Around The World.  It really is a well done piece when you consider the circumstances.  It was filmed aboard his Alberg 30 in the early 1980's to document his self-steering gear he had developed and it really captures a personal journey.  It is not a how to video, if that is what you are looking for.  It is a good watch though.  I bought the VHS from Cape Horn and transfered it to DVD because I do watch it that much.

My personal favorite is Alex Dorsey's Project Bluesphere.  His approach is true grit/seat of the pants, well that and a satellite phone.  It is not a How To, but is an interesting document of his trials and travels. There are two DVDs; both are good. 

I probably like it b/c his low money/low stress approach is the same as mine. 

TrT

I would second Yves Gelina's movie, I love it! I've watched it several times. Well worth the $10 download.

Alex Dorsey www.projectbluesphere.com has 2 DVD's documenting his travels on a 28' Westsail. They are very well made movies (his second one is better and has more sailing). but they are not exactly cheap.

I haven't seen the Pardeys videos yet, but I think they are more educational, but its the pardeys :) they are the ultimate small boat sailors so I imagine their videos are worth watching.

Other ones I have bought from thesailingchanel.tv are Cruising With Betty, not bad, its a 34' boat, so not exactly small, but its a pretty Fun cruising movie.

And Ice Blink. A 33 footer, cruising the arctic with a family of five, a lot of commentary and some incredible imagery.

Also check out www.bigoceans.com Nick (and his 26' contessa) has some 20-30 minute videos of his Atlantic crossing and his trip from the Caribbean to NY, excellent videos and they are free.

Just to add.
"Blue Water Odyssey" is probably pretty good. It is the video from the same family/cruise of the book "Blown Away".

I tried purchasing it from amazon.com and It was completely unwatchable. If you have a windows machine you can probably download it and get better results. I bought it from the 'watch it now' thing, where you can watch it online (because I have a mac and they only have windows downloads), and it was horrible.
Amazon refunded my $1.99 :)

well I just orderd the dvd of the guy on the alberg 30 so can't wait to see his journey and the family in the artic I know I have seen that some where maybe on discovery channel or something

Yeah I think it was a PBS documentary before it was DVD.

yeah it's pretty cool that family sailing everywhere, I totally admire them.

Chris

yessssssssssss yessssssssss I was dismasted, yells Yve gallinas. in the fantastic master piece onboard Jean du sud. I order this film many years ago on VHS. He is one of those who's made the most impression on me!!! And now I own it on dvd. I've seen this at least a houndred times... I will look into your tip. appriciate it! Back here in Sweden there was a great man, Kurt Björklund. I had the pleasure to met him a couple of times. circumnavigate 3 times, one around the holy grale, Cape horn.  He recorded his trips on a kassett recorder, and I have those also. great felling and joy to listen too.

Big oceans  was a great one,  thank you! good looking boat, contessa 26! any more links???

Try this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOaahTD3c40) on for size.

from www.wildvikings.com

They have a dvd, I would really love to see it (hint hint ;)) but last time I checked, they wanted 50USD for it.
So i read the book and was pretty satisfied, anyway, if anybody ever gets that dvd let me know :)

I think Nick's (www.bigoceans.com) voyage is being documented for a documentary which would be wonderful, but will take another year or two to come out. of course, the videos he has put together and released free of charge are IMO the best around.

I believe Zac Sunderlands trip (http://zacsunderland.com) will have a dvd release once he has completed the voyage. That should be interesting. I know he has several camera's mounted on his boat.

Overall, there really is a shortage of high quality no-nonsense cruising videos.

please let us know if you find anything else.

Dnice... Wildvikings, the norwiegan... I 've seen that too- (yes I know I told you only in bigger boats...eh..).- An Albin Vega far north. an allright dvd, but not that great, I think (sorry, don't like the cold climat)
They did a trip before this filmed one. And the boat sank outside Afrika, hit by a whale or somthing??!! More tip please...

Just seen Jean Du Sud Around The World WOW what a great movie

Another neat kite cam with a Vega.

Okay, this is a different type of video recommendation.

We often talk about consumerism and materialism here on sailfar.  Well, on the advice of a good friend, tonight I watched the movie TRUE STORIES (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092117/) featuring Talking Heads frontman David Byrne.

In a word, what an amazing flick.  Quite the comedic commentary on modern American consumerism.  Great soundtrack, too.

I've always thought Byrne was a genius; this cements it in my mind.  This movie is well worth a look if you want to examine consumerism and quietly ponder, after watching it, the KISS and SailFar principles.

Grog for that great recommendation :)

great clip's...

WOW.

Can't believe I waited this long to see Yves Gelinas film about his RTW trip...

http://www.thesailingchannel.tv/jean-du-sud/

I downloaded the movie - only $10 - and man, what a great resource it already is, and will be, as well as being just plain good entertainment. The story is told well and moves right along, there are quite a few LOL moments, and the cinematography is surprisingly good. What is really neat is the peek you get at how he lived day-to-day, a close up look at another small boat sailors ideas and methods for offshore existence...

His grain grinder was a surprise. His stove location gave me some inspiration for a problem I have been wrestling with. I really like that I have *finally* gotten to see how his inflatable dodger (and, in fact, whole inflatable bimini/cockpit-cover) worked - though I would like some more details... :) My suspicion that I could do ratlines up to the first spreader has been confirmed, as is my intention for mast steps above there... Lots of little things like that, in particular make this movie simply outstanding over pretty much every other sailing movie I have ever seen.

I never did figure out the function of that pole in the after port corner of the cockpit, up against the rail...  ???

Two thumbs up, & I'd give it 3 or 4, if I had 'em. :)

great movie!

The Gelinas RTW movie -possoibly the best sailig movie I've seen. And I've seen it a few times too... :o

I too, like his inflatable dodger frames, made from bicycle inner hose. I did e-mail him to get a hang of how he made them, but I didn't quite get it. He's a genious when it comes to making innovative stuff from some scraps. His Cape Horn windvane is really cool to and from what I've heard he's really helpful as to how to custmize it and istall it.


BTW, he worked as a film director before he 'sold off and took off'

Oh, and the part where he makes a sleeve and fixes he's broken mast after a 360 is fantastic.

Slocum, Moitessier, Gelinas.....in chronological order  ;)

No exageration here, I've watched it about a hundred times or more.  It has helped me through the winters for about 10 yrs now.  Yves has done alot of work to Jean du Sud over the years and some of it is pretty subtle when compared to his more obvious and incredibly inovative changes.  After e-mailing him with a question several years ago I recieved a package from him with a, get this, hand-written note included!  Not many of those going around these days.  I am always looking for new ideas and a better way (than I can think of) of doing things and I discovered a lot from his movie.  Not only that, but it pushed me in new directions and made me dig where I never would have thought to.  Hey!  Just like this site!

Capn, I believe that post in the corner of the pushpit is a camera mount.  There are a few scenes that were filmed from that point.  

A friend of mine installed a Cap Horn windvane this summer. He said he dealt with Yves, and he was extremely helpful any time a question arose.

--Joe

Hve to post a comment! Yve's RTW is probably the greatest?! I've ordered it on VHS back then, and later on DVD. Also seen it at least a 100 or more times. I plan also-when afford- a Capehorn windvane. Salut to Yve's and a merry christmas to all of you

Evantica:

One of my crewmates to Bermuda last summer installed a Cap Horn windvane on his Cape Dory 28. His boat is now in storage near my boat, and I've had a chance to look at the installation.

It's really elegant, and he said Yves was extremely helpful supporting him with the installation.

If I were ever to get a windvane for my little 25-footer (unlikely), I'd definitely go with Cap Horn. It's an elegant design and Yves and his colleagues provide top-level customer support.

Best,

--Joe

My children got an Optimist for Christmas and so we have been watching some videos waiting for the water to warm up.

Who says you cannot sail a boat in seas that are MULTIPLES of the LOA of the boat?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5sHkuuINXY

Sailing rocks.  The freak-out over "rough" conditions is the symptom of a dying characteristics in humans...(really, I've heard "sailors" say they drop sails and motor to port if the wind exceeds 10 knots...that's not a typo...TEN knots of wind).  If an 8 ft pram can handle 30 knots and not-insignificant sea states, what the fuss for a ballasted "cruising" boat in the same conditions?

And some Opti's working upwind in what looks to be a bit better than 20 knots and lumpy seas:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyyGEMviXwc

Who says you cannot sail in 20 knots?  Hogwash.

(Sorry if the tone of my last two posts seems harsh, but I've grown quite weary of late with non-sailors that own sailboats shooting off at the mouth at what CAN and CANNOT be done...the whole "head for port" mentality sitting on a comfort level of "ideal conditions and nothing more.")

Shoot that looks like fun, and I like the little duel at the end.  My children are PUMPED to get out there and do this.   ;D  Of course, they like the ride on the foredeck in 25+ knots of wind, too.   ;D

And finally, how about a 420 in 35+ knots?

"Cruising:"  moving fast from anchorage to anchorage.

What about voyaging?

(I cannot get over that interior...something out of a sci fi space voyage movie I've seen...)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epfspZc-Ajs

Another movie recommendation...not exactly sailing related, but it is about the love of the water, and an INCREDIBLY inspirational story.  This is the story of Bethany Hamilton, the teen surfer who got her arm taken off by a shark, and went on to compete at the champion level in pro surfing.

This girl's got real guts...the kind that's hard to find nowadays, it seems.

Soul Surfer (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1596346/)

I really liked the inclusion of real video footage of Bethany and family in the credits, scenes that 'mirrored' produced scenes in the film.  Some of the film we thought might be for dramatic effect - not so much, since they were reenactments of actual 'home movies.'

Well, I have to say that even though this is not sailing, I find this to be one of the COOLEST videos on youtube.  It's time elapse of a tugboat working along New York City.  Tommy Emmanuel's guitar work adds to it, but what I find really cool is the 'titles' that just scream "waterman" and "work boat."

Same guy has some other cool videos on youtube as well.

This was a WONDERFULLY made documentary...thank-you for posting this link.  Wow.  The US documentary makers could take a lesson from the Canadians that put this one together...

Also this week, we've watched two on the Shackleton voyage; both were excellent and sort of focused on different aspects of the ordeal. 

Shackleton gets a lot of the press as the hero of that story for his overall leadership, rightfully so, but I've got to say that Frank Worsley has earned a place among my own personal sailing heroes.

Absolutely the best treatment of Joshua Slocum's life that I've ever seen or read.

A masterpiece of documentary filmmaking!

Thanks for posting that link.

--Joe

I really enjoyed this documentary about Slocum as well.  I thought the emphasis on Slocum's Canadianess was rather disingenuous given that, as I understand it, Slocum became  a U.S. citizen and became quite friendly with Teddy Roosevelt and family.  I don't know that much about Slocum, but I don't think he sailed the globe planting maple trees as he went, but that jingoistic sort of nationalism is rather typical of some Canadian documentary film making.  I also noted that Slocum's mental health decline late in life wasn't touched upon.  But all in all, an enjoyable documentary.

I thought the emphasis on Slocum's Canadianess was rather disingenuous given that, as I understand it, Slocum became  a U.S. citizen and became quite friendly with Teddy Roosevelt and family. 

This is a valid criticism of the video. I doubt that being Canadian or American (United States citizen) made much difference to Slocum or his contemporaries.

There was, and may still be to some extent, a tremendous flow of people, especially sailors and fishermen, back and forth from New England to the Maritimes. There was a famous whaling dynasty out of New Bedford called Slocum. They were not related, at least not closely, to Capt. Joshua, but some members of that clan fled to Nova Scotia when the Yankees drove the "Tories" out of New England.

I had a good friend, now deceased, who grew up in what was once the "Nova Scotian neighborhood" of Boston, and he told fond stories of spending summers with relatives in Canada. Upon questioning, it turned out that his relatives had moved to Nova Scotia in the 1780s, but they were still considered "cousins."

Given this ebb and flow of people and the similarity of cultures, I'm not sure that Capt. Joshua or many of his contemporaries gave the matter much thought.

Still, despite the emphasis on Slocum's Canadian roots, the documentary was well done and empathetic to the old salt without ignoring his personal failings.

I'd be interested to know if his family had New England Loyalist roots, or if his ancestors emigrated directly from the British Isles to the Maritimes.

There are many good sailing films on Netflix, from documentaries, drama/thrillers, how-to's, etc.

Are you looking for a specific genre or title?  Have some examples of what you'd consider good?

Thanks for the reply Cap;
  I'm interested in small boat adventures/cruises (not tall ships) fictional and non-fiction.
Got any ideas?

Netflix unfortunately does not have the best searching engine.

Some of these may not be what your are looking for, but here goes (a partial list), with the ones I've seen at the top:

THE INCREDIBLE VOYAGE OF BILL PINCKNEY (1995) (http://dvd.netflix.com/Movie/The-Incredible-Voyage-of-Bill-Pinkney/70075252?trkid=496751) is a good documentary.

DEEP WATER (2006) (http://dvd.netflix.com/Movie/Deep-Water/70075820?trkid=496751) includes some excellent interviews with Moitessier, Robin Knox-Johnston, etc.

WIND (1992) (http://dvd.netflix.com/Movie/Wind/60026835?strkid=935246387_28_2&strackid=14056a5702627e35_28_sim&trkid=1266483) is a lot of fun with some excellent cinematography.

VISITORS (2003) (http://dvd.netflix.com/Movie/Visitors/60032277?strkid=964939615_0_0&strackid=3aaf600fe54e5f6f_0_srl&trkid=222336) is about a female solo circumnavigator who realizes she's sailing with unseen visitors.

CAPTAIN RON (1992) (http://dvd.netflix.com/Movie/Captain-Ron/60023181?strkid=1439805171_0_0&strackid=a816c4bf730f785_0_srl&trkid=222336)...no sailing movie list is complete without this one!

NIM'S ISLAND (2008) (http://dvd.netflix.com/Movie/Nim-s-Island/70084792?strkid=204403805_0_0&strackid=5fbeed31fe85ac7d_0_srl&trkid=222336) has a few (short) sailing scenes with a nice little classic boat.

DEAD CALM (1989) (http://dvd.netflix.com/Movie/Dead-Calm/425882?strkid=883184549_0_0&strackid=11987a98be197543_0_srl&trkid=222336) is another 'classic.'

MIDNIGHT CROSSING (1988) (http://dvd.netflix.com/Movie/Midnight-Crossing/60027068?strkid=1171236739_0_0&strackid=48e8284043fbb935_0_srl&trkid=222336)

LIONHEART: THE JESSE MARTIN STORY (1999) (http://dvd.netflix.com/Movie/Lionheart-The-Jesse-Martin-Story/70029789?trkid=33859) I have not seen this one, but just added it to my queue!

Lats and Atts Season 1 (http://dvd.netflix.com/Movie/Latitudes-Attitudes-Season-1/70041922?trkid=816228) Haven't seen this one either, but should provide some good footage (watch the 'big, well appointed boat' bias, though,  ;) ).

MORNING LIGHT (2008) (http://dvd.netflix.com/Movie/Morning-Light/70105128?trkid=816278) haven't seen, but may add it.

There are other movies with sailing in them or a sailing focus.  There are quite a few "How To's" listed (I've watched a couple of 'em over the years).

Many of these should be available via other rental outlets (brick and mortar as well as online), and at least in the US, our public libraries often carry substantial video collections.

There are pretty good sailing movies that Netflix does not carry. JOURNEY OF A HOPE MERCHANT is one example that comes to mind.

here's another I've missed for some strange reason?!
Brilliant I say... a new favorit among the tube clip's... yes Atom's!!!

To all of you "sailfarer"...havn't you filmed any sailing with your own boats? If so would be nice to watch!

Here's a couple of Tehani-

First one is about 20, 25 miles out into the Gulf of Mexico, off the Texas coast-Sailing with sheet to tiller driving

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PhBRB1qkpk&feature=related

Second is again with sheet to tiller steering, over in Mississippi Sound-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NokZpCJIuBg

and one more- this is Traveler, my 18 foot trimaran, sailing reefed at about 12 knots, during the Texas 200 one year. Shot in the land cut just above the lower Laguna Madre. Winds were up to about 28 knots-The 200 is a five day trip up the Texas coast, inshore, with camping each night on barrier islands

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3c0nZhPI4s&feature=related

Nice filming, harmony, like those warm sailing days!
anyone else?

I just found a new video on You tube. It's about a young man on his Ericson 27 in Hawaii. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQbnlhRNP9Y&feature=channel&list=UL  Check out his other videos, there good too.

Enjoy.

World Discovery: Tall Ship Adventure (http://www.amazon.com/World-Discovery-Adventure-Amazon-com-Exclusive/dp/B00AEG0I16/ref=atv_dvd_twister)

Currently available on Amazon Instant Video; chronicles a North Atlantic voyage of the Danish training ship Danmark and the cadets that sail her.

On creativity:  This video is, in my opinion, truly awe inspiring and pushes one to create, to use the mind.

Sent the link to a friend of mine and one of his responses was:

"How can one watch this and not feel compelled to think and create, and do so way outside the box?"

Here you go:

You are absolutely right. I've subscribed to her for a about a year now and can't wait for her next video to come out. I Hope you checked out the rest of her videos, they're a blast.

Not sure if non-Facebook folks can see this, although it is marked as "Public", but - pretty good sized containership rolling in storm swells.

If I were on that bridge, I would have to get all that paper off the deck! If you listen, you can hear another ship calling Mayday on the radio...

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=574984479183944

Yup, this non-FBer could watch it.

Funny how one's (mine at least)  senses can start to feel the rolling as if there on the bridge. That is weird to have all that paper flowing back and forth with each roll. Most are in their PFDs.

I wonder whether they might have had to respond to that Mayday call? There would then probably be another video about that...?

It's kind of reassuring that there really is someone on the bridge looking out.  But heck yeah, square that away!

Yes, you have to click on the image to start the video.

I had to turn off HD (high definition) to get it to work on my old laptop.

clicking on image gets nothing. Oh well. I've always had problems with Vimeo. Just plain doesn't work well for me

Great lil video.  Thanks !

Wow-- I've been a fan of theirs for years. Have most of his books, including the one from before he met Susan..

THAT video has been bookmarked for a leisurely night of viewing- Thanks

It is very good, one of the best retro cruising videos that I have seen.

EXELLENT!!!    I remember reading their articles back in the 70's. Sad day when Eric passed...Susan a few years later. They were exellent sailors and practiced super seamanship. That boat is still sailing after all these years.  Grog to ya for the link!!!!!

 ;D ;D

One of my favorites quotes from one of his books, consummate sailor that he became later-

from his first book- "Wandering under Sail"-

"That I bought my first boat on a Wednesday, sailed her away  on a Thursday, and found her wrecked on a Friday is an unfortunate fact"

Happened in 1934. Book published first 1939, second edition in 1948

Gives much hope to novice sailors eh? :D :D

A nice little sailfar video and a change from the common Bahamas theme.
If you live in the Shetlands and have a boat i guess you know what you are doing.

Meh, they only had to deal with Force 7-9 gales for 3-4 days in their 15' open boat. Heck, they capsized only twice, and got to jury rig the "shattered" broken mast afterwards. Easy peasy trip, that one...

These people's boat is a little bigger than the Sailfar norm but what you'll like about it is this guys history and how he got into sailing. This is the first of a series they are doing about their history and is part of their regular Youtube site. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

 I apologize if this has already been listed.   I just watched it and was inspired:

    If you haven't see this, or heard the story of the Rose Noell, it's an inspiring story of survival at sea from 1989.   4 men, who were strangers to each other prior to sailing, were on a trimaran that was capsized a few days after leaving New Zealand headed for Tonga (I think).  They were NOT found, and drifted for 119 days, sheltering in the overturned hull, and living on what they could find at sea after their provisions ran out.   They eventually drifted to an island off the coast of Australia after having been given up for dead.  They came ashore in a remote area, in such good condition that the at first it was believed to be a hoax.  Rain water kept them alive after they discovered that the water tanks had drained through the vents.  The boat became a veritable "floating reef", attracting enough sea life that they actually lived quite well once they had adjusted to their circumstances.  Fuel from the tank was tapped for cooking, etc.   An amazing story of survival!!

and thus the safety of a tri:) Jim Brown outlines this in his book "Case for the Cruisng Trimaran"

A book I have on order.......   My focus is rapidly shifting in the direction of Trimarans, as a global cruiser.   Not having ballast and a long deep full keel or fin keel, less heel, making for a more pleasant living environment, shallow draft, and speed, which CAN allow you to dodge weather if you are wise enough to do it, all point in favor of the trimaran.  The narrow main hull is not very attractive, but the space in the "wings", storage in the outriggers, and abundant deck space where they are fully decked instead of trampolines, large roomy cockpit, etc, are all plusses.   A monohull will survive a major knockdown, and pop back up......  unless a ton of water enters through various places, and that should not happen.  A tri if knocked over to that degree is not coming back up.......... but what is the relative probability?   Trimarans are known to skate across major waves that would knock down a monohull, because of their light weight and broad beam.......... But nothing stands up against the proverbial "wall of water".

Here is a link to an article about a sailor we've lost. He was our kind of sailor even though he circumnavigated on a Fast Passage 39; a little big for us perhaps.  Sounds like a bigger than life wild man. I feel diminished just for not having met him.

There is a documentary coming out tomorrow called Chasing Bubbles. Apparently, if you "like" their facebook page you can stream the movie tomorrow for free.  I've been on hiatus from Facebook but re-activated myself just to stream tomorrow.

November is the darkest and gloomiest month on the northern hemisphere so if you, like me, spend time huddled up watching boating videos here are a couple of tips.
A Danish guy who has fixed up one 30-footer and is living aboard while he is fixing up the second boat he bought in, and sailed back from, Scotland. Informative and entertaining camera work.
https://www.youtube.com/user/madsdahlke (https://www.youtube.com/user/madsdahlke)

He tipped viewers off to this next site which is a bit different. A British guy who bought and fixed up a traditional narrow boat and is cruising the inland waterways of England and Wales. The fact that he is a previous local TV news reporter and radio host  makes for great quality narrative and camera work as well as humor in a very British style. If you are not interested in the buy and fix part you can skip the first 30 videos.

Yes, tons and tons of great sailing related content on YouTube.  I had no idea either until last year.  Some of it is hard to find at first, but once you start uncovering the stones there is all sorts of great stuff out there from million dollar yachts to "I'm sailing across the pacific on two oil barrels strapped together with bailing twine, lol.

I've seen some of Tuckers videos in the past, pretty good content yes even if not sailing-related. He makes you think you could do it too - and I imagine most of us could, if we were so inclined. :)

Christian posts another gem, a good 1.5 hours worth of singlehanding life offshore. He seems like a fun guy, especially as opposed to the typical YT millennial grasping for views, likes, subscribes and the holy grail - a Patreon sponsorship:

Enjoy! :)

"...'cause there were casualties. Casualties of ships, whole ships gone missing, overwhelmed in the sea, smashed up on the rocks there down near those unlit coasts as they were then, of Tierra del Fuego, alright.
Man doesn't live forever. If he lives a challenging and adventurous life while he may, that's not such a bad idea."
- Alan Villiers

Great documentary  "The Last Cape Horners; The End of the Great Sailing Ship Era."

The local library has a free documentary/educational DVD section (that is free  :), compared to the regular feature films which are a $1  :().

I saw this film "The Race to Alaska" on the New Arrivals shelf. Thought of the excellent thread that Frank did here on SailFar of his cruising in the same area...
https://sailfar.net/forum/index.php?topic=4087.80
and checked it out.

It was much more entertaining than I expected...so far...had to stop when the Big Guy proclaimed... "That's enough!" (for that evening...to be continued)...

Here's the official trailer...

There are also many other videos on YT from different boats and years.
