On board Taleisin-the boat that
has been their home for over
65,000 miles of voyaging - Lin and Larry demonstrate galley
upgrades, table design ideas, comfortable seating
arrangements, and ways to improve ventilation below deck. On
deck, learn how sail and ground-tackle handling can be made
easier for even the smallest crew member. Larry discusses
sun protection, rain collection, and line handling. Lin
provides advice on buying and storing provisions and hints
for keeping you and your crew dry, warm, clean, and well
rested.
Shot
in The Pittwater (north of Sydney, Australia) and at
Fremantle, as well as at their home base in New Zealand
(where they are restoring a 110-year-old racing yacht), this
DVD incorporates the best ideas from their highly praised
videos, including Cruising with Lin and Larry Pardey and The
Care and Feeding of Sailing Crew.
ABOUT
THE FILM
The
programs have been re-edited, re-mastered, and supplemented
with new information from these master voyagers, who now
have more than 180,000 miles under their belts - including a
contrary-to-the-wind circumnavigation below the four great
southern capes. Come along and share in some of the secrets
that, even after forty years afloat, make the Pardeys eager
to keep cruising,"...as long as it's fun."
"More than 50
really useful ideas." - WoodenBoat magazine
"If more

would break fewer hearts." - Roger C. Taylor, Sail magazine
"An excellent addition
to any sailor's
video library." - Cruising Helmsman magazine, Australia
