Excellent movie, although the ending was/is a little anticlimactic. Story of a USCG licensed sailboat captain who, along with his spouse, takes onboard 8-10 high school students in a sailing adventure on board on square rigger named "Albatross". I recommend the movie. Very interesting.
Apparently, the term "white squall" is a sudden and violent windstorm at sea that is not preceded by black clouds that are generally characteristic of squalls and refers to white-capped waves and very mixed seas. White squalls are apparently common on the Great Lakes.
Yes, I know. Posts are to be associated with Cape Dory sailboats.
For the record, I presently own a Cape Dory Typhoon Weekender but I am considering enlarging my fleet to include a Cape Dory 25D or, possibly, a Cape Dory 27.
