Sailing in the Media

I was on IMDB earlier and saw that the Ghost Whisperer episode this week is going to feature a story line around sailing. Anybody know any other good examples of sailing on TV?

Thanks!

There was a "NUMB3RS" episode that featured a sailboat that was lost that was being used to smuggle high-tech weapons.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Yes, there was an CSI: Miami episode where a couple was in the middle of getting a divorce and she was in the process of hacking her husband's fairly pretty wooden sailboat apart with a chainsaw.

I know I was really ticked off during the America's Cup finals when our local sportscaster repeatedly made fun of sailing as totally unexciting while showing the finish of the great final race.
