A New Paradigm for Cruising

Sailing Videos

The following five videos are excerpted from the five hour Offshore Voyaging DVD series. Introduction to the South Pacific aboard the 78 foot ketch Beowulf is first. This has some of our favorite sailing footage, with surfs in the Southern Ocean to 27 knots. Winter Crossing will take you aboard the Sundeer 64 ketch Artemis during a storm tossed out of season crossing of the North Atlantic. Want to spend more time in the South Pacific? Click here to cruise aboard the 68 foot ketch Sundeer. For a look at cruising in the early 1980s click here. Included is archival video footage from the beginning of the Deerfoot Series of yachts. Finally, come back aboard Beowulf for a 2900 mile record breaking passage between the Marquesas Islands in the South Pacific and San Diego California, dodging two hurricanes along the way.

“The 83ft-long (25m) wave-piercer...could easily be mistaken for the spawn of the Royal Navy with its unpainted battleship grey, all-aluminum body. But that day, in those conditions, it was the only boat that I would have wanted to climb aboard to face the English Channel.” --Motor Boat & Yachting
