The New York 32 looks like the yacht that starred in the Talented Mr Ripley. here
The Bestavaer 76S starred in the film Adrift.
There is some uncertainty about the type of yacht used in the film The Talented Mr Ripley, with some convinced it’s a 40ft Hinckley, and others that it is a New York 32. here
Some of the most stunning yachts have starred in films. here are a few of them.
At the time of build, this aluminium sloop was the largest yacht the yard had built, and the owner’s brief was for a beautiful and fast yacht that would also be suitable for chartering, with accommodation for six guests and two crew. Her open-plan accommodation features subtle Honduras mahogany and cream paneling with chestnut flooring, giving her informal elegance and style. more
Theo van Erp and Riekie Wever saw the film Adrift. According to Theo:
“The film is not true to the book, it is far more romanticised. There was no Trintella 44 to be seen, instead a kind of Taiwan clipper with schooner rigging was used. We can see that, especially for the indoor scenes, a much bigger ship was used. When you are a sailor yourself, you will note the improbabilities in the film. For example, during a class 4 hurricane, full mainsails are used and another sail has been reefed. A practiced sailor can see that is both idiotic and impossible.
In another scene Tami dives off the uncontrollable ship with a rope around her waist, and manages to untie a sail that is stuck between the rudder and the hull. And that with 2.5 knots of speed!
Another plot point that raises questions is how she manages to find her boyfriend, who has fallen overboard but manages to hold on to a dinghy, after an entire day.
At the end of the film a picture of Tami herself is shown, with the announcement that Richard died the day of the shipwreck. When you know that, some of the impossible details in the film can be contributed to hallucinations, and might not be as off as they first appeared.
There were only few viewers when we went to see the film. To summarise: I cannot imagine this film appealing to non-sailors, or to people who have no connection to the story. The book is clearly more informative.”
In our newsletter of March 2018 we mentioned the film Adrift, based on a book by Tami Oldham, in which a Trintella 44 named Hazana has an important role. After seeing this film, some of our members have recorded their experiences. Theo van Erp, who saw the film with Riekie Wever, points out details that are impossible to the eyes of a trained sailor. Our secretary Peter van der Waa, who saw the film with his wife Liedeweijde and knew Tami from the composition of the Trintella book, puts more emphasis on the emotional side of the story.
Peter and Liedeweijde van der Waa also went to see the film, but had a different mind-set. According to Peter:
“At first I thought that there would be minimum interest in the film, but the opposite turned out to be true. The film was sold out during our first visit, so we reserved seats for the next showing.
After seeing the film we got out our anniversary book to reread the summary of the book Red Sky, and noticed the film had the necessary ‘new’ scenes.
The film is strongly romanticised when compared to the real story, something that is not uncommon for film adaptations, fiction and non-fiction both.
One of the things that tricked me was that Richard (Tami’s boyfriend) was found holding on to a dinghy, and spent weeks just lying about the deck while Tami took care of him. At the end of the film, however, it turned out that many of these events, including the collision with a big freighter, were actually Tami’s hallucinations. This is something that cannot be read in the original story, but gives the film an extra edge, as a story filled with drama, fear, hope, emotion and hallucinations. The original storyline from the book is still clearly present in the film, meaning the bizarre adventure in which Tami survives a hurricane and loses her loved one.
At the end of the film, photos of the severely damaged Trintella are shown, and we also have these in our book. Certain details match the boat in the film, such as the damage to the port side where the mast had rubbed against the hull and spinnaker pole, or the broken boom she used to make an emergency sail.
In the end it is the same with every book, film or painting: we all have a different take on it.” [links]
She said: “I think Richard was definitely with me, that he was helping guide me and being there with me because we shared such a passion for each other and for life. I talked to him all the time. It kept me going.”
Together they sailed a yacht Richard had built himself to Tahiti, where Richard proposed.
It was filmed mainly on the open water off Fiji and stars Shailene Woodley of The Fault In Our Stars as Tami and Hunger Games actor Sam Claflin, 32, as Richard. more
Tami then investigated further and realised the yacht wasn’t letting in any more water.
Then the radio crackled to life with a warning that Hurricane Raymond was bearing down on them. here
A 40-foot sailboat abandoned more than eight years ago in the Indian Ocean, after the dramatic rescue of its 16-year-old U.S. captain, has been discovered adrift off South Australia’s Kangaroo Island.
Wild Eyes, its hull encrusted with barnacles, had last been piloted by Abby Sunderland, who was attempting to become the youngest person to solo-sail around the world.
