Ice Blink http://www.thesailingchannel.tv/iceblink/ A real cruising family. The Dvd covers not only a voyage but their family sailing ethos with a good balance of interviews and logs. The beginning of their story is told in their book “into the light” which details Dave and Jaja Martin’s circumnavigation in a 25′ yacht creating a couple of kids on the way. This dvd shows the family cruising aboard a 33′ yacht in the waters of Norway, Greenland, and Iceland.
Jean du sud Around the World http://www.thesailingchannel.tv/ see my detailed review of this excellent award winning film here.
Keep turning left http://www.keepturningleft.co.uk/ hundreds of films of shoal sailing in a Mirror Offshore with a sense of humour around the UK from an ex BBC cameraman.
Ready to Cross Oceans, Lin and Larry Pardey
A cruising couple like no other. This is the ideal video to give you some much needed perspective on what it really takes to sail oceans. You might not buy into their approach but if your trapped in the idea that a large engine and power hungry gadgets make the cruising yacht this will help you appreciate the other side. Well produced dvd in a series, their books really are a must.
