The largest portion of my time working on the distribution version edit of THE FRIENDSHIP is photo restoration.

The distribution version edit of THE FRIENDSHIP is nearing picture lock. Next, I'll need to rerecord the voice-over talent, revise sound effects, expand the music, and get a new sound mix done.

In my feature documentary THE FRIENDSHIP, my grandfather Bob Rollins stands aboard his handcrafted yacht, built in the backyard of his Arcadia home, as it awaits transport to Newport Beach.

So I was right about MARINER holding the record for a race that has never been beaten as this explains a LOT! Because it's NEVER been raced again since 1925! Also, those mathematics involved behind the handicaps for some yachts I think has altered and is not applied today... #transpacrace #sailing

Ooh, where can one watch your documentary THE FRIENDSHIP? I'd love to see it.... #TranspacRace

The #TranspacRace Barn Door hall of fame. 1923 Mariner finished the race in record time which has never been beaten… #sailing

TRANSPAC RACE 1923 1926 JOHN BARRYMORE MARINER YACHTS SAILING

If anyone can explain the #Seawanhaka Rules in simple terms and then tell me why in the #TranspacRace of 1923 and 1926 'Mariner' was not placed in her rightful position of finishing 1st and 3rd respectively, I'd be ever so grateful! Thank you. #sailing ⛵
