Remembering San Francisco’s Classics: The Haunting Beauty of Historic Boats 
 

"By listening carefully to old boats, you can hear exciting stories! Mr. Casalaina’s latest movie, Wind in Their Sails: Life, Death and Resurrection, is a remarkable story about classic sailboats, some as much as 130 years old, and the people who keep them alive and afloat. The death of such matrons of the sea can be as heartbreaking as their stories of resurrection can be uplifting.
