A film by Eric & Susan Hiscock Interactive DVD Running time: 91 minutes In the late 1950's, very few "middle class" sailors had taken small sailing craft on long voyages. British Sailors, Eric & Susan Hiscock became pioneers in making long trans-oceanic passages in a small sailboat to what was then quite remote destinations. Their sailing adventures paved the way for future generations of cruising sailors who would follow in their wake, making blue water passage-making the more common experience it has become today.
This interactive DVD allows you to access all the ports of call the Hiscocks visited during their three year circumnavigation or just play the full film.
Extras include an interview about the Hiscocks with circumnavigators, Lin and Larry Pardey; and an interview about the hiscock's sailboat, Wanderer III, with current owners and adventure sailors, Thies Matheson and Kicki Ericson.

MAIDEN
"In 1989, the very idea of a competitive all female sailing crew was nearly inconceivable to the manly world of open-ocean yacht racing."Directed by Alex Holmes | A New Black Films Production Featuring Tracy Edwards Running Time: 93 minutes.
Synopsis
In 1989, the very idea of a competitive all female sailing crew was nearly inconceivable to the manly world of open-ocean yacht racing. They’d never make it to the start of the Whitbread Round the World Race, much less survive to the finish. They’d never find funding. They didn’t have the strength or skill. They’d die at sea. Did that many professional female sailors even exist? Tracy Edwards proved them wrong. 26-year-old skipper Edwards, her second-hand racing yacht Maiden, and her seasoned crew not only became the first-ever all female sailing crew challenge to the Whitbread, they proved able competitors in the famously grueling race, besting male crews in their class. By the time they returned to their starting point at Southampton, England after 32,000 miles of global racing, Maiden's all female sailing crew had shocked, inspired, and transfixed the sailing world and the British nation. Tracy Edwards was awarded the 1990 Yachtsman of the Year Award, the first woman ever to receive the accolade, and was named a Member of the Order of the British Empire.
