A centuries-old craft, a wooden boatbuilder, and the Caribbean sea

© Indian Creek Films

On the small Caribbean island of Carriacou, Alwyn Enoe, one of the last wooden boatbuilders, decides to build one final sailing vessel alongside his sons. His goal? To pass on a centuries-old craft, held in the minds of only a few men, to a new generation before it disappears with time.

Vanishing Sail is a documentary that follows three years of this journey, from cutting and transporting timber to the vessel’s launch at sea.
