CLICK VIDEO FOR TRAILER, MORE INFO & VIMEO PURCHASE
A film by Gregory Roscoe Running time: 94 minutes A family sailing saga from construction through shakedown cruises, dismastings and family breakdowns told through the lens of a man, a mission and his boat. In 1997, the McKay family- George, JoAnn, Elizabeth, Aaron, Tom and Rob made the decision to build a three masted Galleon as a way for the family to voyage and see new places. However there was a key feature that needed to be integrated into the build- the boat needed to be handicapped accessible to accommodate Elizabeth who has Marfans Syndrome. This accommodation evolved into an obsession, which eventually took its toll on this American family.

Spending Time with Miss T Video Series

Click above to play video teaser.
Miss T is a 29 ft sailboat, designed in 1969. "Spending time with Miss T" is the video project following the rebuilding of a sailboat interior. The boat is entirely gutted at the moment, and the objective is to rebuild her interior, true to the original 1960's stylish, yet functional manner in which she was once built. The entire project is an utterly irrational affair, driven by a strongly felt passion for small, hopelessly unfashionable sailboats.

Boat How-To Electrics 101 Video Course with Nigel Calder

You want to understand your boat's electrical system? GET THIS COURSE NOW
Boat electrics is not rocket science...but it still has to be DONE RIGHT! Electrical systems on boats have become more and more complex over recent years. Even moderately equipped boats today rely completely on their electrical system. A loss of power can lead to an emergency at sea. (Or do you still have a sextant and all nautical almanacs on board?) Unfortunately, many owners have only a vague understanding of their boat's electrical system. Or, even worse: They think they know how to install a system and end up making damaging mistakes, and teach others these mistakes in blogs or on YouTube.
