Summary: Watch Episode 2, "ZACA," 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 2 features extended excerpts from Luther Greene's latest documentary, "In the Wake of the ZACA." 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. 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 two, we join the Shards aboard their Classic 37 sloop, "Two Step," as they voyage north along the Turkish coast. The Shards sail up the Dardanelles, stop at the Gallipoli War Memorial, and encounter a squall in the Sea of Marmara. Arriving at Istanbul, Two Step sails past famous monuments en-route to the Shard's base for exploring the old city. You can purchase the two-volume DVD set of Distant Shores: Greek Islands & Turkey at TheSailingChannel.TV/distant_shores.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.
