Two New Pardey DVDs |
There are a lot of folks like Larry, who enjoy learning
by seeing far more than they do by reading. That is why
Larry was eager to use video to share the ideas we use
on Taleisin to make life afloat easier and voyaging
more fun. Comments from many of the people who, over the
past ten years have bought the four hour long VHS programs,
Cruising, Voyaging, Care and Feeding of Sailing Crews
and Cruising Coral Seas confirm his decision. The
advent of DVD as a far easier to use, better picture quality
format meant we had a decision to make, how do we keep
the information in these programs available for those
who are just now getting their cruising dreams underway.
The cost of re-mastering the programs as they stood, direct
to DVD and repackaging them, made us hesitate. But Chris
Gurr, who edited our Storm Tactics DVD and is a
two time Emmy award winner, and keen cruising sailor,
has always liked those programs. "Let me at 'em,"
he insisted. A few weeks later he had a plan. "Let's
show people these are ideas that have worked for you for
years and still keep working. Let's use lots of the footage
you shot as you voyaged another 20,000 miles, take some
good footage of you at your New Zealand home and the new
lady in your life, 110 year old Thelma and interweave
them to give a whole new feeling to it all. Folks who
have never seen the originals will find them full of information,
folks who have the originals will find the new stuff fun
to have. This is really classic information." The
results are two 90 minute programs which each show over
50 useful tips and ideas and give you a feeling of what
it is like to cruise in protected waters and to set off
across oceans. Chris' skillful editing has helped to highlight
many important aspects of our philosophy for confident
voyaging, including taking time to do sea trials, and
having gear that works in all conditions and for all members
of the crew. |
