Not a book... (or: The video thread)

Not sailfar, but interesting and well 'produced'

I just came across this video of a young man sailing his Flicka 20' across the Tasman Sea about two years ago. This video is the first of many so enjoy.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spj4f6L47Rg&list=UUtSE24229mMsNNgYdrBoJWw&index=44

Fair winds and full sails

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

[skylark]

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.

Here is the 2015 symposium for the Jester Class get together  https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=uLXUKGZ3a08  It makes me think back to "The Scoot".

This guy did 4000 miles in a small, small boat. Not too shabby...  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kuy4goz3stI

Found this film of Jarle Andhojs first trip in a Vega to the antarctic. It is in polish I think but some commentary is in English and the pictures speak a lot for themselves. What ever I may think of Jarle, this was pretty cool sailing (no pun intended).

I bet you can't help think of this song the next time you walk through a marina.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6whti5ER-M&feature=em-uploademail

A bit different but still Sailfar.

More sail fast than sail far but interesting about the future engineering of sailboats.
