The Old Theater presents a “work-in-progress,” screening Mavericks & Multihulls, Friday, October 24 @ 6p.

In the 1950s and ’60s, a group of radical sailors, using modern materials and engineering, reimagined 4,000-year-old multihull boat designs. The boats they built in their backyards and garages broke with convention and launched a decade-long odyssey of invention and adventure, tragedy and accomplishments across oceans, continents and cultures. Sailing today would not be the same if not for these audacious characters. Mavericks & Multihulls tells their story.

A “work-in-progress,” producers say it’s nearing its final form, making it the right time to share and gauge responses by friends, fans and supporters.

Because the movie is not in its final state, admission to the screening is free, with donations gratefully accepted at the theater. Learn more and RSVP at the movie’s website: MavericksandMultihulls.com. Attendance is free, but please RSVP to help plan catering for the event.

Located at 609 Broad Street in Oriental. The Old Theater is a 501©(3) nonprofit.
