Trivia The Zaca was a wooden-hulled, schooner-rigged yacht with an auxiliary engine. She was designed by Garland Rotch and completed in 1930 at Sausalito, California, built by Nunes Brothers Boat and Ways Co. Due to the need for local patrol and rescue craft in the busy waters in the San Francisco area during World War II, the schooner was acquired by the Navy from Templeton Crocker on 12 June 1942. Placed in service on 19 June 1942 and assigned to the Western Sea Frontier, Zaca, classified a miscellaneous auxiliary and designated IX-73 operated as a plane-guard ship, standing ready to rescue the crews of any planes downed nearby. Eventually relieved by the frigates (PF's) of Escort Squadron 41, Zaca was placed out of service at Treasure Island, California on 6 October 1944; and her name was struck from the Navy list on 13 November 1944. Turned over to the War Shipping Administration on 21 May 1945, Zaca was acquired in 1946 by Errol Flynn, an actor famed for his "swashbuckling" roles in numerous movies. Zaca is featured prominently in Orson Welles 's film The Lady from Shanghai (1947) . Flynn owned the yacht until his death in 1959. As of 2008, Zaca is privately owned and berthed in Monaco. The owner is Roberto Memmo. The skipper is Bruno Dal Pias. A crew of four regularly sail Zaca to ports such as Punta Ala, Gaeta, Capri, Cagliari, and throughout the Agean Sea. The Zaca is frequently seen at prestigious sailing races in the Mediterranean. Her winter port is in Port de Fontvielle Monte Carlo. In 2009, the Sailing Channel, now the Nautical Channel, dedicated a program to the entire history of the Zaca from original construction to the present, In the Wake of the Zaca (2005) .
Goofs At the start of the film, Flynn leaves his home, mentions and shows that he is carrying an apple and a banana, probably for his lunch. He stuffs the banana into his jacket pocket. As he runs to the waiting helicopter, you can see the banana pop out of his pocket and fall to the ground. He does not stop to retrieve it.
Crazy credits Opening dedication: To Dr. Carl Hubbs, of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography of the University of California and to Professor Thomson Flynn of Ireland, my warmest thanks for your technical advice. Signed, Errol Flynn

The Cruise of the Zaca!

The short documentary produced by Warner Brothers was about Errol Flynn’s Cruise of the Zaca which took place in 1946. The Cruise of the Zaca was a special engagement presentation at the 2021 Coronado Island Film Festival. (CIFF) The well attended film was shown at the Sacred Heart Parish Hall Theater on Saturday morning November 13, 2021.

At the conclusion of the showing, film historian and renowned movie critic, Leonard Maltin acted as moderator of a panel that included Errol Flynn’s daughter Rory Flynn and Academy Award Winner Actor and Flynn family friend, Richard Dryfuss. By the way, Dreyfuss received the Coronado Island Film Festival 2021 Cultural Impact Award.

Maltin shared his perspective of Errol Flynn’s career and personal life. He summed it all up by stating that “Errol Flynn was an underrated actor who wasn’t given due credit for his acting ability and made “Good Copy” for the way he lived his life, both on and off the silver screen.”

Just prior to the showing of the film, Rory Flynn shared background with the audience about her father as a slideshow showcased a number of photos with Errol Flynn as a toddler right up to the height of his career. She told stories about her father, her mother Nora Eddington and her grandfather, who were all shown onboard the Cruise of the Zaca.

Richard Dreyfuss shared his love and admiration for Errol Flynn’s acting ability and career. He remarked, “How damn good looking Errol Flynn was.”

The Cruise of the Zaca is a 17 minute film about a voyage taken by Errol Flynn, Errol’s wife Nora Eddington, Errol’s father, Professor Theodore Thomsom Flynn(who was an renowned marine biologist), painter John Decker, actor Howard Hill, director Charles Gross, cameraman Jerry Corneya and Professor Carl Hubbs and several scientists from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography of the University of California. The purpose of the trip was to give his father and members of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography the opportunity to research rare endemic plant life and animal species. The trip started in August 1946 travelling south along the Mexican coastline before stopping in Acapulco for a short stay. The Zaca was used for the movie, The Lady From Shanghai which starred Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth. Once filming was completed on the Zaca, Errol Flynn continued the cruise traveling through the Panama Canal and ending up in Jamaica.

David I & II, I wonder if the other documentary on sailing starring Errol and Anthony Quinn has been a topic during the film festival? The missing masterpiece was called “A Yacht Race between San Francisco and Los Angeles” and supposedly filmed by Sterling Hayden.
