Sidebar question: Are there any movies that have a heavy sailing
element to them that anyone could recommend that a newbie to sailing
would find interesting? Or how about history channel documentaries on
sailing?

Thanks


"The Boatniks." Newport Harbor in the early 70's and a great reminder of
what our Coast Guard used to be. Watch it for the humor, but learn from the
mistakes.
