Film Screening and Discussion
Women at the Helm (2018)
Friday, February 15
7:00 p.m. inside the Library

Women at the Helm (2018, 47 minutes) is a new documentary about five salty senior women in the Bay Area and Washington state who were pioneering mariners. The women profiled include a cargo ship captain, a tall ship captain, a commercial fisher, a sail maker, and one intrepid adventurer who skippered her own boat to places around the world, sometimes single-handedly. Filmmaker and Sausalito resident Helen Vandeman, herself a three-time live-aboard owner of classic boats, will be on hand to answer any questions after the screening.
