Vince Casalaina Video of Beau Vrolyk and David Crosby’s Former Schooner ‘Mayan’

The tale of wooden ships resonates through the music of David Crosby and all sailors attached to the romance of the age of sail. In the video below, Beau Vrolyk talks with Bay Area filmmaker Vince Casalaina about Beau’s purchase of David Crosby’s classic Alden schooner Mayan. Crosby’s “wooden ship” was berthed in Sausalito for many years, and then in Santa Barbara. Today she continues to sail the West Coast under the stewardship of owner Beau Vrolyk.

We covered David Crosby’s passing in ‘Lectronic Latitude here and in the magazine here. The age of sail continues in much more varied forms, but the beauty, elegance, allure and romance of the sea continues to be represented powerfully by the world’s wooden ships.

Here’s a gallery of beautiful West Coast wooden ships that connect us to the age of sail:
