As a brief respite from the current madness, here is a mixed-up montage of sailing footage from the Castle Films newsreel named Windjammer Thrills. The newsreel starts with the square-rigged training ship Christian Radich, moves on to fishing schooner races with a nice shot of the Gertrude L.Theobald, then jumps to the America’s Cup, dinghy sailing, iceboating, and beach sailing. An entertaining hodgepodge.
