Great Sailing Movie

Someone on Facebook recommended "The Weekend Sailor" as a good sailing movie and boy was it ever! It was about the first Whitbread Race (now the Volvo Ocean Race) and this rich Mexican guy who decided to enter it having never sailed before. Bought a new Swan 65, recruited some of his family and a few "experts" and won the friggin' race! It is a documentary and stories are told by all the crew members about the race and all the stuff that happened. I got lucky because we just got a new TV and cable box with voice search capability so I just asked my remote to find the movie and it did LOL. Hit another button to record it because it came on at noon and we watched it last night. I may watch it again. Enjoy! Paul West Adventure Kwest Cal 39

It is a great movie and it's also on Amazon Prime. Don't need facebook to find all the other great sailing movies and book recommendations they offer. Enjoy!

Paul,That reminds me of the young fellow with no sailing experience that purchased a 30 plus foot long sailboat (way beyond my sailing level and I've been sailing and racing for decades), signed on a barnyard chicken as first mate (I guess he couldn't find the recipe to make a Micky Finn on Google) and set off for the New World. It was written up in Latitude 38 last year. Proved to be a wise move, 'cause, how many first mates you know will lay you a fresh egg for breakfast every day+stay on deck to keep a look out no matter what the weather? Apparently, that chicken was no chicken!Jerry of Shpritz On Sunday, February 4, 2018 2:26 PM, "pw… [at] aol.com [Cal_Boats]" <Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com> wrote: Jerry - Sorry but I knew the ending before I watched it and it was still amazing, trust me.

I took note of the exact same thing. And it crossed my mind that any skipper who approved of, or at least didn't object to, the crew taking ladies out for a casual spin in the official racing yacht during their down time in Rio really couldn't be bad. ;-) AJ On Feb 5, 2018 06:14, "ccampbell cc… [at] lsnm.org [Cal_Boats]" < Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com> wrote: it and enjoyed it too.

You're welcome :) I'm still waiting for them to make "The Dove" available in my area but if you use their watchlist feature it's easy to either check back or receive notification when it is available. Comparatively speaking the number of sailing movies period is a joke when stacked against other genres but as a source for possibilities all located in one place with no ads Prime does a decent job.

I'll put in a plug for seeing films on a great big screen in a big dark room and a theater-quality sound system (i.e., not on TV). I was lucky to see "Weekend Sailor" the right way--in a very good theater (The NY Times film guy said it was the best in the country) right here in little Traverse City. On Sunday morning I saw /Bullitt/, the 1968 Steve McQueen film, in the same place. Why? Because the surviving original Mustang from the movie, one of two that McQueen drove, is on display here. And why am I seeing great but non-current movies in this good setting? Because Michael Moore (yeah, that one) convinced the local Republicans to sell him the theater for a buck. The Rotary Club owned it. The theater had closed and the real estate was worth about $3 million. He promised to restore and reopen the theater. He did, on time and on budget, and it has created an economic boom in that part of town ever since (not to mention great pleasure for us locals). Those Republicans knew what they were doing, and so did Michael Moore, and we are all beneficiaries of this symbiosis. It's a good example of looking beyond labels, and besides, the whole idea of Michael Moore and the Republicans hugging each other is just a delight. The /Bullitt/ Mustang is original and unrestored and very, very cool. I can send photos to any Mustang fans. Chris Campbell
