Charts of the World CD - CM93 (£34.99) Qty Back to the Top Sailing DVD's                                                                   The entire series of Blue Water DVDs were shot by a professional film and television director during a circumnavigation.  They illustrate the experiences of a world cruising yacht crew - the places they visit - the countries and most importantly give a feel for the life style. Many of the places are only visited by cruising yachts - sometimes impossible to get to in any other way -    The Blue Water Destinations part one DVD is shot on board a yacht transiting the canal system and is the only professional film, shot from the point of view of a yacht using this facility in existence! It really does show exactly what is involved and will greatly help those planning to use this huge commercial stretch of water, joining the Caribbean with the Pacific Ocean.   It is almost impossible to visit many of the Pacific Islands except by yacht so much of these DVD's contain images and information impossible to source else where. Even the Australian episode has material many Australian sailors have never seen including a live helicopter rescue in a big blow with yachts on the reef and the crews in serious trouble.   The Asia DVD has visits to islands that seldom see strangers and dug out canoes are the local method of transport.  The entire series was shot by a sailor for sailors or those planning to experience the great adventure.
