The Graet Schooner Race of 2017

Maine’s tall ship fleet gathers for an exciting race from Islesboro to Rockland, followed by a festive Awards Ceremony/Party with live music. This year marks the 41st anniversary of the Great Schooner Race, North America’s largest annual gathering of tall ships!

I don't care how big or modern your fibreglass yacht is, you will NEVER match the grace & majesty of these vessels.

[@dougmacqueen1679]

Yes some these huge modern ones are just butt ugly.

Dreams that couldn't ever take place

[@unconventionalideas5683]

The music is good, but it continues probably too long. But great video!

[@BisonWilliam]

The red sail ketch just had to be different.

[@williamhoskins2300]

Just beautiful!

[@pikethree]

I enjoyed that, thanks. A bit of commentary about the boats, who won, who made an arse of it would have been better than just music. And something besides the one reel too, maybe a coupla dirty sea shanties. Camera work was great. Ian, Beith, Scotland, Planet Earth

[@pabloterc182]

[@BigIron-ex4hi]

[@AurumFaber]

Don't we all?

[@3wheelie]

Stop talking, just do it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKi1hoicotqpe6c, or maybe start in a smaller scale? kzbin.info/www/bejne/hp_NdnaDlLCqatU

[@nagatmihai543]

Very nice . Thanks !

[@kayeewart2677]

I find the mute feature on my iPad essential when watching this video!

[@TASMAN-1]

Well consider that the wind would ruin any audio anyhow, choose your poison. I'd rather listen to fiddles than dubstep!

[@Obzorpoteme]

красота

[@d.cypher2920]

Is that guy tryna barbecue in the dinghy? Ffs?!

[@maasbekooy901]

What are the names of the music?

[@jeffreysearle2996]

Very annoying music. Good for a intro but then cut to actual sailing sounds.

[@57Jimmy]

@ 6:49 give them a smack and throw them and their bloody phones over! To not savour every moment and every breath of salt air, listening to the creaks and snaps as sheets tighten and the slapping of the waves against the hull in my opinion, is a BLOODY INSULT to these beautiful vessels and those who sail and have sailed on them! Give them a musket and let them play one-shot Russian Roulette!

[@lungarotta]

You know those smart-phones are a great asset for all people who don't know what to do with their life! Imagine how boring it had to be for them without it!!!

[@flylooper]

I couldn't agree more with you. The country's being dumbed down by those damned things.

[@garydflatt4904]

They can be an asset, you have to know when to turn them off. Watching this on my iPad.

The green boat with red sails is a very nice boat, but I believe she's a ketch; not a schooner. Just saying. :)

[@richardlanoue1261]

LOOK LIKE THAT

[@willymueller3278]

Yes, she s a ketch all right.

[@ningpo6924]

"A ketch has two masts with the mizzen mast stepped before the rudder head. ... The mizzen sail in a ketch is a driving sail, in a yawl it is more of a balancing sail. The mizzen sail is always is smaller, often much smaller than the mainsail. If it was the same size or larger the boat would be a schooner" same size and before the rudder head makes this boat a schooner...( link: www.schoonersail.com/tall-ships-schooners/learn-sail-schooner/difference-ketch-schooner/ )

[@markturner4219]

so it's a ketch then - although whoever wrote this definition is being very imprecise. In a two masted schooner there is no mizzen, just a fore and a main mast. In a ketch (which only comes in a two masted variety, there is no foremast, only a main and a mizzen. You have to have three or more masts for a schooner to have a mizzen - none of which appeared in this film. Don't know why it's called a windjammer parade, as there are no windjammers present. @@ningpo6924

[@writertaylorleecooper9357]

She was only there to ketch a schooner.

[@jginmt]

If anyone knows someone who was crew on Victory Chimes the summer of 1975 please let me know.
