SUMMARY:Melges: The Wizard of Zenda fundraiser film screening CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:Due to insufficient ticket sales\, the screening is regrettably cancelled. \n\nBuddy Melges: “The Wizard of Zenda” grew up in Zenda\, Wisconsin\, sailing on a lake\, like our kids do. Called “the Leonardo Davinci” of sailing—he honed the ‘art’ more than the science of sailing—he went on to win Olympic medals and world championships. But sailing’s biggest prize eluded him – The Americas Cup. \n\n\n\n“This film is so much more than sailing. It’s about the greatest sailor in the history of the sport\, but it also contains many nuggets about entrepreneurship\, character building and how to harness your ego to play well with others\,” said Executive Producer Anne Peterson. \n\n\n\nSaturday\, Feb. 3 at 7 p.m. Nepean Sailing Club \n15% Discount at the Bar and Restaurant to any non-member who shows a movie ticket. \n\n\n\nSee the movie trailer here! \n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is a fundraiser for the Nepean Sailing Club’s Legacy Fund. The Legacy Fund provides financial support for sailors in exceptional sailing activities – youth sailing\, Able sailing\, participation in competitions\, and sail training for new sailors who would otherwise not be able to afford to participate. \n\n\n\nThere have been over 200 pre-release screenings to date around the world. The producers will be releasing this movie to PBS and other national broadcasters and are exploring a deal with a streaming network. But they have generously made it available to NSC\, like many sailing clubs\, to use to raise funds to support the sport of sailing. \n\n\n\nSee the movie trailer and buy tickets here to “Melges: The Wizard of Zenda”. \n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdults\n$20\n\n\nYouth 12-18 and students\n$12.50\n\n\nChildren 11 and under\nFree\n\n\nFamily pass for two adults and one or two youth or kids\n$50\n\n\nIncludes popcorn and more – Show your movie ticket and get a 15% discount at the bar and restaurant\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis film played to a standing ovation at its premiere showing in late March at the Annapolis Film Festival. “This film is so much more than sailing. It’s about the greatest sailor in the history of the sport\, but it also contains many nuggets about entrepreneurship\, character building and how to harness your ego to play well with others\,” said Executive Producer Anne Peterson of “Melges: Wizard of Zenda”.Despite his larger-than-life persona\, the film captures Melges’s humble nature\, and his eagerness to share his knowledge and be an open book to even his competitors. With more sailing trophies than almost any other American sailor\, the 93-year-old was an Olympic gold medalist\, world champion in the Star and 5.5-Metre classes\, five-time E-scow national champion\, seven-time Skeeter iceboat champion\, three-time Mallory Cup champion and three-time Rolex Yachtsman of the Year. He was inducted into the National Sailing Hall of Fame in 2011 and the World Sailing Hall of Fame in 2015. Yacht clubs and sailing organizations are being offered the opportunity to partner with the movie’s production company to show the film to their membership by paying a nominal per-attendee fee. That fee is reduced if the film is used in a fundraiser to promote sailing. Buddy Melges was all about promoting the sport of sailing\,” Peterson said. “By offering the film to yacht clubs to use in their own fund-raising efforts\, I like to think we are paying it forward and bringing Buddy’s philosophy up close and personal to an expanded universe of sailors no matter where they are or what they sail.” \nSailing Magazine\, June 2023
