Madison is not about sailing, but it is one of the best family movies now showing and is about boat racing and family relationships. See http://www.roundaboutmadison.com/Inside%20Pages/madisonmovie/8_99%20movie.html

Growing up in West Virgina, our family made many trips to New Martinsville,WV, upsteam from Madison, on the Ohio river
and we saw most of the Unlimiteds race during 1948 to 1959. This was back in our power boat racing days. My Father raced 135 ci Hydros and I was then racing B Stock Outboard Hydros. Now in Seattle, we continue to follow the Unlimiteds at Seafair.

Our Family is now into sailboat racing, and will have three generations racing in our first race of the year, the Splash Regatta in Kirkland, May 27-28.
