Corona News - sailing entertainment at home

 Corona News - sailing entertainment at home A few days ago, we promised to put together an entertainment program with sailing (or sea) films during the Corona crisis, an obvious intention that other sailing portals also have been taking up. ----- World Sailing has asked the sailing community to send in the best sailing and regatta films. It will be interesting to see which unknown or forgotten pearls will appear. ----- The news portal Sailingscuttlebutt has already published a list with links to well-known cinema films like Moby Dick, The Boat or Waterworld, as well as documentary films. Certainly interesting will be the portrait of the first one-hand circumnavigator Joshua Slocum CAN (1892-95) or the rounding of Cape Horn in a storm on a 3 master (1929). ----- A good program for the next two weeks !
