There is still a place in America where nature rules. Where glaciers gleam like jewels set into majestic mountains. Where ice-fed waterfalls plummet from tidewater glaciers. Where the spirits of ancient ancestors linger in the mist. Where their signs can be seen on rock cliffs near the bones of their great wooden lodges, their weather-worn totems still standing guard in virgin forests. The inside passage, from Seattle, Washington up the coast of Canada, to Juneau, Alaska is a waterway window into the past with majestic scenery and hidden anchorages where time stands still.

TheSailingChannel is honored to offer what many consider to be the finest sailing film ever made: With Jean-du-Sud Around the World. A Film by Yves Gélinas. Twice winner of the Palme d'Or at the Larochelle Sailing Film Festival (for Part One in 1983 and Part Two in ’85) and of 8 awards in other festivals, Jean-du-Sud celebrates the filmmaker's 28,000 mile, single-handed circumnavigation through the roaring forties and around Cape Horn aboard his Alberg 30 sloop. Available for purchase: http://www.thesailingchannel.tv/jean-du-sud/ 100 minutes - English and French VIDEO DOWNLOAD: $9.99 DVD: $19.95 plus S&H YOUTUBE RENTALS With Jean-du-Sud Around the World is now available as a YouTube Rental for just $2.99 (US Only). Rent our sailing documentaries at TheSailingChannel YouTube Documentary Playlist. Shot in 16-mm film with sync sound, Jean-du-Sud puts you in the cockpit: Yves speaks as he would to a fellow crew member. Unless you do it yourself, this is as close as you'll ever get to a solo circumnavigation. In attempting to sail non–stop between Saint-Malo, France and Gaspé, QC, Canada through the Roaring Forties and around Cape Horn alone aboard his boat, Jean-du-Sud, Canadian Yves Gélinas added his personal share to the art of sailing a small boat around the world. Besides the voyage, his accomplishments included the design of a system to self-steer his boat, the writing of a book to document the voyage, and the shooting of a 16 mm film while sailing. Even though Yves was unable to complete the circumnavigation non-stop, Jean-du-Sud was the smallest boat up to that time to sail that route. In acknowledgement, the Joshua Slocum Society International bestowed on Gélinas the Golden Circle Award. "I had a lot of time to meditate – the phone did not ring often – but I must say I haven’t had any great revelations, I did not experience nirvana or samadhi. Yet I have known many moments of total contentment : ends of days when the sun dove into the sea splashing half the sky with warm light…The trade wind caressing naked skin (it is almost as good as if it came from a loved one)…The simple pleasure of watching the bow of my boat slice through the surface of the sea, pushed, but also guided by an invisible force : the magic of the wind…."

On April 21st, 2012, Matt Rutherford, 31, sailed into his homeport of Annapolis, Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay after completing a non-stop, 314 day 27,000 mile solo circumnavigation of North and South America - the first such solo voyage ever in a small sailboat. He made the voyage in a 27 foot sloop, St. Brendan, named after a 6th century explorer. The 1970, 42 year old, Swedish built Albin-Vega sailboat is a sturdy vessel, but not one designed for the rigors of the Northwest Passage and Cape Horn. Now a Public Television Documentary, Red Dot on the Ocean: The Matt Rutherford Story airing on PTV stations across the U.S. Purchase the Download at https://vimeo.com/ondemand/reddotontheocean on Vimeo VOD. Rutherford had actually crossed his own start line at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel near Norfolk, Virginia. But he was determined not to step foot on land until he sailed up the Bay to his homeport of Annapolis. Dozens of boats escorted Rutherford into the harbor where family, friends, and hundreds of spectators waited to greet him at the City Dock. After stepping off his vessel, Rutherford shared brief hugs with his Mom and Dad. He was then escorted to a reception ceremony hosted by sailing legend, Gary Jobson, and attended by the Governor of Maryland, the Mayor of Annapolis, and many other dignitaries. After receiving numerous awards in recognition of his record-breaking voyage, Matt met with the press for an extend news conference. Rutherford undertook the trip for personal accomplishment and in support of C.R.A.B., Chesapeake Region Accessible Boating - a nonprofit that provides the joy and challenge of sailing to individuals with disabilities. You can donate to C.R.A.B. online at www.crabsailing.org. For more information about Matt and his voyage, visit www.solotheamericas.org. Matt’s goal was to raise $250,000 for C.R.A.B: ten dollars for every mile of his record-setting circumnavigation of the Americas. With $80,000 raised to date and more pledges coming in following his successful return, Matt is committed to translating his personal triumph into financial support for C.R.A.B and disabled sailors. TheSailingChannel is planning to produce a major documentary about Matt's solo around the Americas voyage.

This video was inspired by the tragic story and images of Albatross chicks on Midway Island in the Pacific dying slow and agonizing deaths due to ingested plastics consumed in error by the seabirds. It was produced by Skeleton Sea, a group of surfers who have created a green art project that promotes clean oceans, respect for nature and human rights. The artists use the flotsam washed up on beaches to create their art. In February 2012, Skeleton Sea held an Sanya, China" art workshop in Sanya, China in association with the Volvo Ocean Race during its stop-over. The group presented its work, "Presents of the Sea" to the Serenity Marina Sailing School where it will remain on permanent exhibition.
