Blue-water sailers Susan and Eric Hiscock 1963 film

Beyond the West Horizon

There was a time when sailing appeared on prime-time TV, or something close to it, and here’s the proof – a trailer for a 1963 film made by blue-water sailing husband and wife team Susan and Eric Hiscock. It’s available on the Sailingchannel.tv website.

My thanks to Andrew Craig-Bennet for pointing this out via Facebook.

Yes… people really did speak very differently in those days!

A wonderful boat. I could just look at her all day…
