A series of six 30-minute programmes produced by David Pumphrey, aimed at people either interested in getting into boats or those who are already confessed addicts.
Presented in three segments by two frontmen:
Barry Thom, South Pacific champion and world championship class sailor.
Len Gilbert successful winner of many diesel cruiser races and “skipper of the year” in 1975,
On screen consultants included Mike Scanlan (from the marine division of the nautical school) and John Mansell (the sole New Zealand entry in the single-handed race across the Atlantic in his craft Spirit of Mana),
The show was filmed in the Tamaki River Basin near Half Moon Bay in Auckland, and at the Mana Cruising Club just north of Wellington.
