Worth catching up on then?

I would say, yes.
Not the crash bang wallop of Sydney-Hobart but captured the race rivalry and the labour of love quite well.

Interesting restoration & "conversion" of a round the world racer to family cruiser. Think the cover they built over the wheel looks dire though

Great story. Bit of a 'Cool Runnings' feel to it!

That fazisi was some looking yoke. They were another very interesting story out of that race with a suicide thrown in for extra intrigue

That's a great film, saw it at its launch in the Lighthouse. Bit frustrating, in that it jumps from Tracy being a skivvy on charter boats in Greece to suddenly remortgaging a house to buy a boat to skipper around the world - left me kinda WTF??

Nevertheless it's a great story, well worth a watch.

Some of the attitudes back then were pretty jaw-dropping (and not all the dinosaurs are dead!).

"The finest hours" tonight at 9:00 on RTE2

HeidiHeidi

I must say I loved All Is Lost - but went with a gang of sailors and the nitpicking postmortem afterwards was hilarious

12pm today the AZAB (Azores and Back) race start is being broadcast live on the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club fb page - single- and double-handed boats racing to the Azores and then back again, about 1000 miles each way :eek:.

For those familiar with the ISORA racing scene, there are two ISORA boats competing - Polished Manx (Kuba Szymanski) and A.J. Wanderlust (Charlene Howard), both two-handed.

Good luck to them!!!

I enjoyed All is Lost.

Its more of a survival film as opposed to a sailing film. One man’s will to survive a series of terrible setbacks if you will.

Watched the start of the Film 'Lost' - on Film 4 tonight - gave up after 15 minutes or so, total rubbish. It had so many basic errors in that short timeframe it was beyond redemption and could only get worse.

Was that 'All is Lost'?

Watched All is Lost last night on Netflix.

If you are not a sailor it's probably an o.k. film.

If you are a sailor it's as per pedroeibar1 comment above!

Here is a nice documentary about Jill & Giles who work and live on the barge hawthorn, you may have heard me mention Giles before as he helps out in the search for "Old's Cool" and has made a few boat covers for me over the years.

Jaysus, the review has taken the edge off the urgency to get the problem sorted :eek:

I'd always take reviews on shows like this with a pinch of salt, there could still be plenty there for folks involved ind into boating/sailing. Enough to make it half interesting anyway.

Did all of the above and there's either something up with Sky or something up with my box. Have a thread open in the Talk To forum to try and sort it out.

Those codes I've quoted may have changed, as they usually do every now and again, so Sky would be best placed to provide the latest codes!

It's gas, They don't officially give ITV & Channel 5 to Ireland, yet will still happily show you how to still get them via their box.

If you have Sky, you can get it be doing the following

Services - Add Channels -

Frequency: 10964
Polarisation: Horizontal (H)
Symbol rate (Mbaud): 22.0
FEC: 5/6

Then search for it, and it should be found, select Channel 5 and select add to channels, then select save. It should then show up in your 'Other Channels' tab in the Services menu.

Of course if you don't have Sky, the above information will be useless for which I apologise.
