The Last Sailors chronicles the working sailing craft still underway in the final decades of the twentieth century. Orson Welles' narration gives the film the gravitas this subject deserves, as most of these sailors and their craft have now vanished forever.

You may have seen parts on Youtube, but this is the full series distributed under agreement with Bennett Marine, the main distributor for the Producers.

To make this documentary series, Director Neil Hollander sailed a ten-meter sailboat nearly 25,000 miles over three years to isolated locales around the world. He filmed in 15 countries, meeting and working alongside men who still earned their livings from the sea in the old traditions of sail. He later wrote a book of the same title recalling his experiences with eight surviving sailing craft, all representative of distinct cultures or geographic locations.
Quote:
“Magnificent footage of the beauty of the sea and the splendid geometry of sail."- New York Times
