The origin of Messing About In Sailboats

  • The original quote is from Kenneth Grahame's Wind In the Willows: "There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."

Classic Yachts Under Sail - Video Selection

Acqua Films, beautiful film of 60 Classics big, small, old and new, in Antigua 2006. Nice tunes too.

 

Valsheda in 11kts off Antigua, buried rail and all.

 

The newly constructed but still beautiful Hanuman under sail. I have seen her up close, docked in Newport and she is a work of art.

Yup. Not Nessun bloody Dorma but the other hackneyed piece of opera that BA had on one of their commercials
