Good Old Videos
We've recently discovered how well some sailing stories can be told with the help of a video camera and slides. So our first attempts will expand with more Dock Walks about specific boats, Boat Project how-to clips, and Cookin' on the Hook tales of the good life in the galley.
If you'd like to add a video to our growing collection, contact Michael Facius for formatting information and recommendations regarding content and process.
To begin, here's an interview with editors Jerry and Karen at the U.S. Sailboat Show 2009, by Tory Salvia of The Sailing Channel, followed by an earlier interview at the 2006 Sailboat Show in Annapolis, MD.
