Several might find the following interesting:
Blue Water
It's the first part of a film about crossing oceans-- the Atlantic in particular. It's not overly technical, but it deals with thinking about the trip, doing the trip, and what occurs after the trip. It's worth watching the second half, when the film makers cross the Atlantic with a couple on a Starlight 39.
One note: this is a high quality video, and my little linux eeePC stalled before the last five minutes of the 25 minute film. I look forward to the next part.
I discovered this film when reading
Yachting & Boating World home | boat news, boats for sale, sailing forums, marine companies. The specific post was
