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

[Captain Smollett]

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) is a good documentary.

DEEP WATER (2006) includes some excellent interviews with Moitessier, Robin Knox-Johnston, etc.

WIND (1992) is a lot of fun with some excellent cinematography.

VISITORS (2003) is about a female solo circumnavigator who realizes she's sailing with unseen visitors.

CAPTAIN RON (1992)...no sailing movie list is complete without this one!

NIM'S ISLAND (2008) has a few (short) sailing scenes with a nice little classic boat.

DEAD CALM (1989) is another 'classic.'

MIDNIGHT CROSSING (1988)

TWO CAME BACK (1997, made for TV) Though based on a true story, it struck me as a little silly and cartoonish, but still a fun one to watch.

LIONHEART: THE JESSE MARTIN STORY (1999) I have not seen this one, but just added it to my queue!

Lats and Atts Season 1 Haven't seen this one either, but should provide some good footage (watch the 'big, well appointed boat' bias, though,  ;) ).

MORNING LIGHT (2008) 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.

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

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

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

Well, I found another set of videos. This one is about a man sailing a Vega 27 across the Atlantic. The subtitles are in German but I found that doesn't take away from the sailing and it has some pretty good music to go with it.

Great video, some really great video of a small boat at sea in storm conditions. thank you for posting the link

[Wade]

I just ran across this one. I hope I remember it the next time I argue myself into not going out because something isn't  perfect. I miss being like these kids.  http://www.boingboing.net/2010/11/05/hold-fast-a-document.html

A family sailing in BC.

This could be a How-To video:

How to work together as a crew...how to have fun 'cruising.'   Good stuff and nice smiles.

Part 1 of a series.

A most interesting salvage video:

That was a really cool video. Thanks.
Lucky boat...landing on the sandy beach instead of the breakwaters.

World Discovery: Tall Ship Adventure

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?"
