Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: "SAILING THE WORLD ALONE" Every four years a few hardy sailors undertake the longest yacht race... to circumnavigate the globe single-handed. Twenty skippers from seven nations cross the starting line outside Charleston Harbor in September, 1994 to begin the 27,000 mile adventure of a lifetime. Before the winner crosses the finish line eight months later, two boats sink, one runs aground and another is lost at sea. This is the story of how the survivors tackle disaster and celebrate success. EMMY AWARD WINNING DOCUMENTARY "It captures not only the drama, but the atmosphere, mystery and romance..." Yachting

Customer Reviews
Personal Journeys
I received this video a year ago and have watched it countless times. Although the sailors were different ages, from different countries, and from vastly different backgrounds, they all focused on the common cause of circumnavigating while alone;but the clincher was that it was a race, not a leisurely sail. Self-filmed Video is broadly used, and communications by radio helped them communicate, as did newer innovations like email. Mishaps and dangerous circumstances along with some personal disasters lace the film along with interesting personal mini-biographies. I'm going to follow their footsteps, and go around alone.
