Shot of the boat at 7:49, boat blows up shortly after 9:00.

When I watched the clip, I thought, jeez, that boat sure is going to need a restoration, but apparently it was fixed after the movie.

Herreshoff 12 1/2 in the background @4:15, boat sailing shot shortly after. I'm sure there are some more, but the film looks awful except for the boat.

He should a had a bronze Edson !

He shoulda had a kero stove. Or been more careful about critters on his boat.

I worked on a B-Movie once, as a boat wrangler ( The Librarians--with Burt Reynolds and Christopher Atkins; Burt, lots of babes, belt buckles, boots, boats--a B-movie). They procured numerous boats for free, in return for "product placement" in the film. The boats were supposedly destroyed during production--but really only sustained cosmetic damage--one actually had structural damage, but it was repairable.

They made a big dollars selling off these boats. Was kind of sleazy, not that they made money, but that they told the sponsors the boats were totaled and they weren't.
