Tall Ship Prince William: Voyage of Understanding
TheSailingChannel presents a Tall Ships mini-documentary from our partner SailTV – Tall Ships Youth Trust Voyage of Understanding. On 12 July 2006, 48 student sailors concluded a 10-nation goodwill voyage aboard the Tall Ship Prince William in London, UK. Funded by the HSBC Education Trust, the goal of the voyage was to help young adults from diverse backgrounds to gain a better understanding of different cultures and religions while developing teamwork and communications skills. The Prince William is operated by the Tall Ships Youth Trust, a non-profit dedicated to the personal development of young people through the crewing of Tall Ships. The young crew, representing eight different nationalities, sailed the 60-metre square rigger some 800 nautical miles from Brixham, UK via France and Belgium, to a spectacular arrival up the Thames and under the famous London drawbridge.

The Navigator: America’s Cup BMW ORACLE
This is the third in a series of videos describing the roles of crewmembers aboard the BMW ORACLE America’s Cup Racing Yacht. In this episode, we hear from another member of the Afterguard, Peter Isler, the boat’s Navigator. Peter helped win the America’s Cup as navigator aboard Dennis Conner’s Stars & Stripes in 1987 and 1988. He’s competed in every America’s Cup since. The Navigator’s primary job is track the yacht’s course using the on-board computer. Linked into Global Positioning Satellites (GPS), the computer constantly updates the boat’s position in relation to the course and its opponent.

The Grinders: America’s Cup BMW ORACLE
This is the sixth in a series of videos describing the roles of crew members aboard the BMW ORACLE America’s Cup Racing Yacht. In this episode, we learn about the “work horses” of the crew: the grinders. It’s like working out on a gigantic exercise machine for 10 hours a day. Physically demanding, the grinders work in pairs, using a variety of winches to shape the sails in coordination with the trimmers. Sailing upwind, the loads are huge: about 4 tons on the headsail sheet and 5 to 6 tons on the mainsheet. During the pre-starts and tacking duels, the grinders work like demons to keep up with rapidly changing sail settings. “You need to remember to breathe,” says veteran grinder Graig Monk. “If you keep your breathing rhythm right, you recover quicker.” You can view the entire 22-minute BMW ORACLE Racing Crew video on Sail.TV.
