Tommy's Honour
In the mid-1800s, Young Tom Morris was, along with his father Old Tom Morris, a pioneer of professional golf. By the age of 21, he had won the Open Championship four consecutive times, a record that remains to this day. While the game of golf would put Young Tom's name on the map, it would also be his downfall. Based on the book of the same name, Tommy's Honour tells the story of a father and son, the role of class in British society, and Old Tom's mission to keep the memory of his son alive. Tommy's Honour comes to theaters April 17, 2017.

Silent-Yachts Silent 60 Solar Electric Catamaran
Clean, efficient, and nearly noiseless, Silent-Yachts have reimagined the possibilities of clean cruising with the Silent 60. The 60-foot catamaran is powered by two electric motors fueled by 42 solar panels. In place of a traditional sail, the vessel gets a boost from a 9-square-meter kite. Its housed in a dedicated storage locker, along with an electric winch and collapsible mast, and when deployed, it generates power to pull the yacht with a figure-8 motion. This gives the batteries a chance to recharge and the boat to run with zero emissions. Below deck, the interior includes four guest cabins, the main salon, and a galley, while the aft cockpit, the bow area, and a flybridge provide ample space to enjoy the sea breeze. Two swim platforms can be extended to accommodate a pair of jet skis or a four-meter tender.
