| Summary |
Deep Water is the amazing true story of the first Golden Globe non-stop round-the-world yacht race initiated by the Sunday Times newspaper in Britain in 1968. It portrays individual endeavour at its most isolated and extreme, set against a canvas of terrifying seas.Described as one of the most extraordinary stories on the high seas, it follows nine men competing to be the first to sail alone and non-stop around the world. As the yachtsmen wrestled their boats through the mountainous waves of the Southern Ocean, Bill King capsized and Nigel Tetley's trimaran shattered beneath him. Meanwhile, Donald Crowhurst, an electronics engineer from Devon, became a national hero when it appeared that his revolutionary boat was going to carry him home at record-breaking speed. Two weeks later, his abandoned craft was found floating in the middle of the Atlantic. (From the UK, in English and French, English subtitles) (Documentary) CC WS |
