Here's a lovingly-crafted home movie charting the maiden voyage of the Brown family's new yacht - and an intrepid crossing to the Isle of Wight. So much more than a compilation of shaky shots, this is a fastidious assembly of accomplished photography, music, voice-over and intertitles - even sound effects. In short, this is the work of a skilled and ambitious amateur filmmaker.
