From Dartmouth to La Trinite... Can you spot the errors?

[Halcyon Yachts]

It has to be one of the nicest yachts I have ever delivered... And it was an amazing sail with some great people.

Can you spot the errors in this video?

Lovely film; - thanks for sharing...brightened up a somewhat below average Friday morning!

Hurrah, the best yet.

Just the correct 2% DCR, which the American Guild of Cinematographers define as the maximum amount of drone footage allowable before it becomes a 'Pain in the Ass.

1973?

 

[A1Sailor]

Lovely film. Have you thought about purchasing some time on telly and using it as an advert?

 

[Skylark]

Several errors:-

1. bloke with a video camera annoying the crew rather than pulling his weight.

2. No sign of Fray Bentos victualling.

3. No sign of biscuits or cakes with the coffee

4. Green line lying along the port side foredeck.

5. French music

6. French tricolour courtesy flag



Otherwise, lovely boat and lovely film

No signs of a pork pie and Colmans!

 

[Old Bumbulum]

What's wrong with a tricolour courtesy flag for heaven's sake?
What else would you use?

 

[bbg]

French courtesy flag upside down.

Every boat that you move has the same dirty window.

The line at Dawlish was not wet.

Excellent - thanks for taking the time to say this. It makes it all worthwhile!

Thanks Doug. I totally agree about drone shots. They can so easily be overdone!

She was indeed built in 1973. Not a typical 70's design, but 70's none the less.

Yes, absolutely! I'm sure they've considered throwing it overboard...

The opening sequence is a shot through some old binos. I really like it, but maybe it is time to come up with something new...?

[Mister E]

I enjoyed the film.

 

[weustace]

Stunning film—and what a gorgeous boat!

 

[johnalison]

Very good, but why were you flying the courtesy flag before leaving Dartmouth?

I'm not keen on the saloon upholstery.

 

[Kukri]

McGruer yachts should not be seen flying red ensigns; only blue or white ones.

(ducks).

That's one of the things I thought would be spotted... All the drone shots were actually taken in Camaret, I just thought it would be nice to show an aerial clip early on and make it seem like it was taken on the way down the Dart. I'vd had a word with the continuity department... We should have lowered the flag for one of the clips and then nobody would've needed to know!

Lovely film, thanks.

She is a lovely boat, about 20 years back when I bought my first wooden boat, a good chum of mine, a signwriter, worked as a yacht painter at Moody's as was, he had a sideline in looking after the brightwork on Talisker Mhor, kept him busy! He used to work on Talisker Mhor on a Saturday morning, then come help me with the paint on mine. Taught me to paint a boat he did.

He still signwrites my transoms now,
