Since the denizens of M4C have such widely varied backgrounds and interests (and I don’t frequent too many other boards anymore) I figured one of you might be a sail or old documentary buff and know the answer.

Many years ago I had a documentary on Beta (yeah) that was about the slowly vanishing commercial sail fleets of the world. It included segments about Chilean sloops that hauled lumber, Nile feluccas, Indian windjammers, and Chinese/East Asian junks. The musical score was incredible, instrumental but pulsing, almost as if it had been done by Tangerine Dream except, as I mentioned, instrumental. I believe it was produced in the '70s, perhaps the '60s. Does anybody know the documentary and what it was called??

Thanks.

Edited the title, the edited phrase is a pet peeve. We’re not drones. :slight_smile: Sorry I can’t help on your quest though.

That definitely isn’t it. That’s the score to the documentary Windjammer about the Christian Radich which I already have, and (BTW) not anything like how described the score.

Thanks though.

Noted, won’t use it again.

Considering I wasted about 15 minutes of my time searching for an answer for you, and came up with nothing other than that… perhaps your description leaves a lot to be desired

Found it, The Last Sailors. I had forgotten that Orson Welles narrated it.
