TSC interviews CapeHorn’s Eric G linas at the 2005 US Sailboat Show in Annapolis, MD. Eric gives TSCC a firsthand look at this unique self-steerer designed by his famous uncle, Yves G linas, for his record-breaking 1983 circumnavigation aboard an Alberg 30 sloop. The CapeHorn places the self-steering quadrant inboard and enables its servo-pendulum to be controlled by a small autopilot if the wind completely dies.

VirtualSailboatShow: Ice Blink Producer, Greg Roscoe
At the 2006, 37th Annual United States Sailboat Show in Annapolis, MD, Greg Roscoe, producer of the sailing documentary, Ice Blink, is interviewed by TheSailingChannel’s President, Tory Salvia. Ice Blink is a remarkable documentary film about a conventional family of five, the Martins, living a very unconventional life afloat. In our exclusive interview with the film’s producer, Greg Roscoe, we learn how he followed the Martin story for many years, finally meeting them after they completed their arctic voyage and settled not far from Greg in Maine. For nearly twenty years, Dave and Jaja Martin cruised the world’s oceans, circumnavigating in a 25-foot boat while having their three children along the way. They are now living ashore following a four-year journey to Greenland, Iceland, and Norway in their 33-foot steel sloop, Driver. Greg tells us how he shaped the Martin’s digital video footage, added family archival photos, and shot new interviews with the couple and their children to create Ice Blink: A Family Navigating Life’s Ice-Clogged Waters.
