This award winning production was shot aboard the 80 year old wooden yawl, Iolaire, in the famous Antigua Race Week.
This documentary is recognized for its incredible on-board sailing action and is filled with a splendid assortment of sailing craft from maxi racers to gorgeous classic wooden ships. Being on-board and up close, you'll experience Antigua Race Week as it has never been seen before.
Don Street is a famous sailing author of instructional books and magazine articles plus his popular Caribbean yachting guides and charts. Until his recent retirement, he had been sailing the Caribbean since 1953 aboard his engineless 45 ft. classic yawl, Iolaire. He also makes frequent transatlantic passages from the Caribbean to his home in Ireland.
Both racers and cruisers will find this video entertaining and informative. Street has developed extraordinary expertise in sailing technique and has used Iolaire to test all sorts of gear from sails to wind and water powered devices.
In addition to the exciting sailing footage, you'll see the famous on-shore events from the wet T-shirt contest, crew tug-of-wars, the limbo and more. There is also a unique tribute to Street on his farewell to Antigua Race Week as he retires Iolaire. This is one video you will want to watch again and again!
