DORADE movie clips from 1930s

[rbgarr]

Four short videos of the Transatlantic and Fastnet Races of 1931. One clip shows sustained and severe rolling by the yawl. Another shows Olin’s brother Rod Stephens climbing the mast under sail without a bosun's chair and untethered... just to look for land.

There's also a page about the new ANNA, an 'updated version' of STORMY WEATHER under construction at Brooklin Boatyard.

Great clips.I'll say they had a roll on.They appeared to be taking it all in stride though.

Do you think the guy taking the movie had one arm wrapped around the mast, or what!

I was impressed with how steady they appeared.The camra man must have had a built in gyroscope.

Wonderful footage. The guy that set up the web video is a waste of carbon. Totally screwed up the video.
