Veteran maritime film maker Tom Garber focuses his cameras on the renovation of his classic wooden sailboat ZEPHYR, a John G. Alden design, and in the process gives insight, honesty and wit to topics that are fundamental to the wooden boat community.
While showing structural repairs to the hull, deck re-canvassing and engine replacement, this program outlines the basic steps required to get an old boat sailing again. Intercut are scenes of restored classic yachts racing, a profile of John G. Alden, archival motion pictures and photos and models from the New York Yacht Club Model Room.
For those who have ever contemplated owning an antique wooden boat, or currently own one, Dream of Wooden Boats will be of great interest.
