Adventure Journal

We’re not much for racing or speed records around here, but this movie, The Iron Duck, has the kind of pluck and spirit that we do celebrate. It’s about the chase for speed on, hmm, land boats? Unsure of what they’re called. The Iron Duck is lovingly crafted with no brakes, duct tape on the joints, and plenty of elbow grease. Tinkerers, adventurers, unite. The film will be available for rent on November 19, which the filmmakers say is only to cover some of the expenses of making it, nobody is trying to get rich here. Check it out, right here.

Latitude 38

California is known for a spectacular coastline and 12-month sailing season. Less well known is the eastern ‘shoreline’, which sits near one of the best sites in the world for land sailing and setting world sailing speed records: the Ivanpah Dry Lake bed. We recently received the film trailer below for a film about the Iron Duck – a legendary iron ‘sailboat’ that set the world speed record on California’s ‘inland sea’. We previewed the entire 30-minute documentary, which is an inspiring tale of the human spirit and how people are driven by curiosity, passion, creativity and desire to take on great challenges.

Scuttlebutt sailing news

Bob Dill is the kind of guy the National Sailing of Fame needs more than Dill needs to be inducted (but he does need to be inducted), and while he sits in the vast pool of nominees, Ben Dolenc produced a film I wish all the great adventures in our sport could claim.

Bob Dill is that kind of adventurer, and this professionally produced narrative shares a tremendous story of how he and sidekick Bob Schumacher went on to build and sail the fastest wind-powered vehicle in the world.
