As owner of Joel White’s 36′ ketch Alisande I thoroughly I enjoyed this film. It goes a long way in explaining how and why such boats are built and the communities that support the effort.
Thank you,

Best $25.00 I have spent in a long time. Aside from the wonderful photography and editing,
the story was very well told. I particularly liked the inclusion of the kids throughout the story.
The boat herself is truly beautiful and sails so prettily. I hope there will be a follow up story on the interior.
Good job by all hands.
Hank

Watched the film today, read their books. It doesn’t get any better than this. I’ve been restoring small wooden boats for 20 years. Keep them simple and use them. No better pride or satisfaction. A must see for any wooden boat owner.

What better way to fulfill your life than to be part of something so wonderfully simple yet mind mindbogglingly complex all at the same time. Nat, with his quote early in the film defining classic boats really helped to remind me why I do this!
