At the end of the sixties, the Sunday Times held the first round the world yacht race. They were 9 competitors: Robin Knox-Johnston, Bernard Moitessier and Donald Crowhurst were three of them. The outcome of this race was unique, Robin won the race, although Bernard was leading it, but chooses to head for the Pacific again, instead of the finish. This documentary focuses on Donald Crowhurst, a friendly amateur sailor who had big dreams and high goals. His boat wasn't ready, he faced huge financial problems if he stepped out of the race and of course, the humiliation. Realizing he wouldn't win the race, he tries to fake the circumnavigation and finish first. For weeks he is drifting around while he is disintegrating psychologically... A must-see! |
