"Cruise of the Zaca", a Precious Documentary Directed and Narrated by Errol Flynn

Errol Flynn sailing – Cine Gratia Cinema

“Like a bird with great wings, the movement of a sailing ship is the poetry of motion.” 
– Errol Flynn

"Cruise of the Zaca" (1952, Errol Flynn) is a short documentary directed, starring and narrated by the actor who immortalized Robin Hood. Buried under a whole load of bonus material that accompanies an Errol Flynn classic, we find this little treasure coming from the Caribbean Sea. In association with the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, the actor used his schooner, the Zaca, and financed a series of scientific expeditions intended for marine research. It's a "thoughtful little film"(1) that reveals his deep love for sailing, his "inherited" interest in biology and his genuine adventurous nature. Surrounded by family and friends, Errol opened up the doors to his own paradise. Do not miss out on the opportunity for a fantastic journey aboard the Zaca. Prepare to be amazed.
