    Few modern sailing vessels are surrounded by more myth and legend than the yacht Zaca. Launched on the eve of the Great Depression, the 118' gaff-rigged schooner has sailed through seventy years of history from one remarkable adventure to the next. Zaca has served as a luxury yacht, scientific research vessel, navy patrol boat, and party boat for infamous Hollywood swashbuckler Erroll Flynn. Today, berthed in Monaco, Zaca remains a topic of fascination in nautical circles.

    Nine years in the making, this documentary film offers a riveting window into the past as seen through the eyes of this historic ship and the survivors of those who sailed on her.

    “Exhilarating! A tremendous piece of work… fantastic footage and painstakingly assembled historical films. Do not mistake this film for a mere ‘story of a yacht.’ In the Wake of the Zaca comes highly recommended to anyone with a fondness for “history with flair.” – Educational Media Reviews Online
