  • The boat is a 1964 Cal 28 and VENUS III was her original name. I remember the delivery. Yes Will I do....I remember Franja bouncing the stick on the ground...I was almost 2 years old!

  • Captain Mack, do you have a copy of the home movies Dad made? Ginger has a copy and Dad has the originals, now transposed to DVD.

  • Joe's boat is named the "Fox III"

  • What was the name of the boat in "Sabrina?" The 1954 version, of course.

  • Nice video. Ginger seems like a nice lady. Looks very peaceful out there on the water.

  • Looks like a beautiful way to spend a day!

  • ahh. THOSE.. are reef point and reef lines on the main sail They are to let you have a smaller sail. You lower the main sail, and tie those ropes (reef lines) around the boom to make the main sail smaller. That is what you do in heavy winds when you can't just stop sailing because you are far from harbor.

  • ahhh... those are 'tell tales" they show how the wind is behaving over that spot on the sail. Because the sail is translucent, you can often see the one on the other side of the sail, too, so you know if the wind is smooth over both sides of the sail. or smooth on one side and rough on the other. The sail sometimes acts like a vertical wing.

  • you can see them clearly around 1:21

  • they're attached to the surface of the sail. All those things dangling there. They look like little dancing worms or something.
