Did you mean this one, @2:15?
I'm guessing - based on the cargo ship in the background in the Maldivian one - that these were made in mid /early 60s.
Photos in 'Two Against the Horn/Hal Roth ' suggest there was still plenty of small commercial sail around Puerto Montt and Isla Chiloe in the early 70's but all gone by the time I arrived in 2004 - 21 years ago yesterday.
Now there are a small number of 'Lanchas Chilote' - as shown in the vid - around and about as 'private yachts' - some old some new.
Wood is still the preferred material for anything under about 50 foot but all powered.
Power plant in the smallest often involves just a Briggs and Stratton with direct drive to the prop. You can buy the complete kit including stern gland in one of the local department stores. Coming alongside just stop engine about 20 foot out and glide alongside, then back out under oars. The fishing boats are colour coded, Pto Montt Yellow, Natales Red, Punta Arenas blue.

Got it! Starts at 2:45 , don't know how I managed to skip over that entire section. Just colour me dumb I guess.
Some of the early scenes are on the Andean side south of Hornipiren - down where the Dresden hid out for a while ( the waterfall shot and thereabouts). The palafitos are I think in Castro.
The Pto Montt scenes are in Angelmo. Still much the same , just more houses on the hillside and the Lanchas Chilota have gone.
As have the horses, very few of them left.
On the islands time still moves at a different pace.
Excellent find- I'll share with my chums in Chile.

Only one what?
Pretty strange that the original producers slipped so much chilean content into the middle of a Maldivian show.

See post #12
These days fishing boat activity is mainly at Anahuac a bit further out of the centre although there is a very good fish market in Angelmo.. Angelmo does still have trade from nearby islands along with the commuter ferry trade - they arrive in the morning, depart again about 1730.

At 09:28 there is a black hulled ferry about to swing into the ro-Ro berth _ still in use today.
The ferry is the Evangalistas ex German 'Condor'. She was being broken up next to Marina Del Sur when I arrived 21 years ago.
Operated by Navimag. Now here is the puzzle - she has a black hull - Navimag have red hulls. Now Navimag started up in 1979 so I surmise a/ she was one of their first 2 ferries b/ they had just bought her and she had yet to be repainted.
Info I have here says she was renamed in 1980 so that dates the vid to 1980 - more recent than I would have thought.
