Being involved with my cameras in many yachting events as well as building projects in 2000 and 2001 the pictures presented to me have by far exceeded any concept I had when I started documenting the renaissance of the classic yachts more than a decade ago. ”The Golden Age” was history – lost and unbelievable, nearly a myth. Suddenly, it has almost come back – we witness it in all it´s many aspects – we are even beyond the Golden Age in scale!
The film shows ranges from spectacular events like the ”America´s Cup Jubilee” at Cowes in 2001 to quieter reflective images captured whilst moored to Swedish rocks. All edited to music in different sequences. It includes the launching of the breath-taking replica of the famous 140´ schooner WESTWARD and the turning of the underwater section of the newbuilt 1000 tonne new build schooner ATHENA at Royal Huisman Shipyard. Besides all this spectacular there is also room for a twinkle in the camera eye. |
