 Storm Tactics Preview: Now on VIDEO DOWNLOAD | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: 417

VIDEO DOWNLOAD TheSailingChannel.TV has just released Lin and Larry Pardey's Storm Tactics: Cape Horn Tested as a HIGH QUALITY VIDEO DOWNLOAD available in both Windows Media (WMV) and QuickTime (MOV) versions suitable for full screen viewing. PRICE: JUST $12.99. This 84 minute video delivers the skills you need to weather storms with confidence. If you like the preview, buy the DVD. It's the next best thing to having Lin and Larry Pardey onboard, coaching you on storm tactics as the seas build and the rigging howls. Closing in on 200,000 miles of blue water voyaging, Lin and Larry Pardey are recognized as the sailing world's most experienced and knowledgeable cruising couple. In Storm Tactics, they provide a detailed look at the techniques and gear that have kept them safe at sea. "... I wanted to show how the sailor's safety valve--heaving-to-works, and the slick it creates. It's hard for people to imagine the almost magic effect of a slick as it saps the power of breaking waves...." - Larry Pardey. "One of the reasons I wanted to sail east-to-west around Cape Horn was to take video shots proving that small vessels can safely weather storms if they are well outfitted and efficiently handled," Larry Pardey stated after his record-breaking voyage. Lin and Larry completed their against-the-wind rounding of the Great Southern Capes on board their engineless 29-foot Taleisin, weathering nine days of storm-force winds to reach Puerto Montt in Chile. There they interviewed several high-latitude voyagers, prepared the narrative, and shot further detailed footage to complete the Storm Tactics video, a project Lin and Larry conceived almost ten years ago. Read more about Storm tactics at http://www.thesailingchannel.tv/pardey/storm_tactics/about_storm_tactics.htm HANDBOOK Add the Storm Tactics Handbook, recently revised 3rd Ed. to the Video and you've got the ultimate reference set. Price: $20.65. Modern methods of heaving-to for survival in extreme conditions. As in the first two editions of this book, Lin and Larry describe their concerns about the tendency of modern sailors to discard the classic methods used to bring sailing vessels of all sizes—from vast clipper ships to tiny yachts—through amazingly strong winds and heavy seas. “There is only one storm tactic that has the ability to sap the power of breaking seas,” they explain. With clear and concise diagrams, they proceed to show how heaving-to works and how even the most modern of yachts can be made to heave-to, whether with only sail power or with the assistance of a sea anchor. http://www.thesailingchannel.tv/pardey/pardey_books/books/storm_tactics_handbook.htm Mario Vittone, a U.S. Coast Guard rescue swimmer for 14 years, in an unsolicited testimony, wrote: “I have been on several rescues (and heard of many more) that would have been completely unnecessary if the sailboat captains aboard would have . . . practiced the skills taught by Lin and Larry Pardey. Not knowing how to heave-to in bad weather is as inexcusable as not knowing ‘red, right, return’.” HandBook 3rd Ed.: DVD / HANDBOOK COMBO Purchase the Storm Tactics video and the newly revised companion 256 page Handbook 3rd Ed. at http://www.thesailingchannel.tv/pardey/storm_tactics.

Watch Episode 4, extended excerpts from "Cruising with Bettie: L.A. to the Bahamas" and "Distant Shores: Mytilini" now on-line at Sailing Channel Theater. TheSailingChannel.TV's new one-hour sailing TV Show is produced for New York Public TV station WLIW21. The series airs each Sunday on WLIW21 at 1PM Eastern. The first half-hour of Episode 4 features extended excerpts from Robert Steadman's cruising lifestyle documentary, "Cruising with Bettie: L.A. to the Bahamas." While arriving for a visit to the port of Annapolis, Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay, show host Tory Saliva introduces extended excerpts from Hollywood cinematographer Bob Steadman's cruising lifestyle documentary, "Cruising with Bettie: L.A. Bahamas. When you're a Hollywood cameraman and sailor, hopefully the two skills will meet. When Robert Steadman retired from feature-film gigs like James Bond, Blue Lagoon, and Treasure Island, he finally cast off the lines of his 1978, Cascade 36 cutter, "Bettie," with no return date on the calendar. Luckily for us, Bob just couldn't leave his camera at the dock. The result is "Cruising with Bettie: L.A. to the Bahamas," a first hand look at the cruising lifestyle. Joining Bob is Kaye Nottbusch, a Hollywood custom designer turned canvas maker and sail mender. Together, the couple take us on a fast paced cruise down the west coast of Mexico, Central America, and through the Panama Canal with many interesting stops along the way. Once in the Caribbean, Bob and Kaye cruise up a jungle river, explore a reef-bound wreck, avert near disaster at an anchorage, Hookah dive in pristine waters, and enjoy a classic Bahamian sailing regatta. You can purchase the unabridged version of "Cruising with Bettie" at TheSailingChannel.TV/CWB. For the second half-hour, host Tory Salvia, introduces "Distant Shores," the highly acclaimed half-hour sailing/travel/adventure series produced by Canadian sailors, Paul and Sheryl Shard. In episode four, the Shards make landfall in Greece on the island of Lesvos, home of the Muses and poetess, Sappho. They visit the island's two gulfs of Kalloni and Yeras, home to delicious sardines and olive oil. They visit the Mylelia water mill, where these two products are still produced in the traditional style. The Shards take a tour of the local church's catacombs at Skopelos, and finally they participate in the Festival of Ay Marina. You can purchase the two-volume DVD set of Distant Shores: Greek Islands & Turkey at TheSailingChannel.TV/distant_shores. If we can generate a positive audience vibe from the sailing community and get that message to TV station managers, this will go a long way in encouraging PBS to air more sailing programs.

Tory Salvia, President of The Sailing Channel and Host for Sailing Channel Theater, introduces the story of this classic 75 year-old, 118 foot gaff rigged topsail schooner that captures a lost age of adventure, romance, and Hollywood glamor. Launched in San Francisco on the eve of the great depression, Zaca explored stone-age civilizations in the South Pacific, patrolled the California coast as an armed ship of war during World War II, and served as party boat for sailor and swashbuckling actor Errol Flynn. Left to languish as a striped hulk on a mud flat in the south of France, Zaca rose like the phoenix to sail again. You can purchase the unabridged version of ZACA at TheSailingChannel.TV.

 Sailing Channel Theater Promo Ep1 | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: 1:02

TheSailingChannel.TV's one-hour sailing series, Sailing Channel Theater, premiers on New York Public TV station WLIW21 this Sunday, July 5, at 1pm EDT. The series will run through Sept 6 with an option to renew and be presented to APT for national PBS distribution. Located on Long Island, WLIW21 is the third most watched PBS station in the US and sister station to WNET13. The station covers the largest sailing grounds in the United States encompassing New Jersey, New York City, Long Island, and Connecticut. You can also view SCT Ep1 on-line at www.wliw.org/sailing and www.thesailingchannel.tv/sct. In the premier episode, the first half-hour features extended excerpts from Lin and Larry Pardey's latest documentary, "Cruising Has NO LIMITS." Tory Salvia, President of The Sailing Channel and Host for Sailing Channel Theater, introduces the world renowned cruising couple. This remarkable film shows Lin and Larry skimming before caressing trade winds, savoring tropical landfalls, and evading stormy seas. But their stories of ocean voyaging are much richer than the typical image of the cruising life under sail. We join the documentary in the Indian Ocean as the Pardey's, on board their 29-foot, 9-inch engineless wooden cutter Taleisin, close in on the southern tip of Africa for the first of three incredible adventures. Once safely ashore, Lin and Larry plan and execute a seven month “Champagne Safari on a Beer Budget,” outfitting a 4X4 to reach remote corners of southern Africa. During their two-year stay, they cover more than 12,000 miles enjoying campfire evenings with Kalahari Bushmen and days of animal-watching at waterholes far from game reserves. Next the Pardey's set sail across the Atlantic to Brazil and some incredible island cruising south of Rio. During this second adventure, we see how two 14-year-old passengers lead them into a unique, eight-month-long island encounter with several Brazilian families who dream of their own off shore adventures. Finally, the Pardey's voyage north to Ireland’s music-filled shores where they enjoy a summer of history, classic sailing, Irish music, and new friendships. Cruising Has NO LIMITS is a treat for both seasoned sailors and those who just dream of visiting different cultures under sail. For the second half-hour, host Tory Salvia, introduces "Distant Shores," the highly acclaimed half-hour sailing/travel/adventure series produced by Canadian sailors, Paul and Sheryl Shard. In episode one, we join the Shards aboard their Classic 37 sloop, "Two Step," as they explore the West Coast of Turkey. The Shards voyage north viewing ancient ruins and olive groves along the way. They take a Turkish bath in a natural hot spring "hamam" along the shore and visit a town on an inland lake. A trip to a barber becomes an enlightening experience when Paul discovers that Turkish barbers use flames as well as razors when he goes for a shave. You can purchase the two-volume DVD set of Distant Shores: Greek Islands & Turkey at thesailingchannel.TV/distant_shores. If sailing community can generate a positive audience vibe and get that message to TV station managers, this will go a long way in encouraging PBS to air more of our sailing programs in the future.
