Plot Summary

Racing Around the World Alone’ is the story of the 2008/2009 Vendée Globe race. 30 skippers embark on a quest to be the fastest to sail 27000 miles around the world, non stop, without assistance and alone on 60 foot sailboats. This is one of the most extreme challenges a human being can face. The sailors are alone at sea for months and physical and emotional strength are essential. Growlers (Icebergs), sea mammals, and massive waves are a constant danger. On any day the forces of nature can bring an end to the best sailor’s well made plans. They harness the wind, hope for safe passage over the sea and push hard to win. They are a testament to the audacity of the human spirit.

Don't Bother With The HD Version

Ok film. Could have had more exciting narration. You should know that while there is an "HD" version of this film you can rent for an extra dollar, its not HD quality. Most of the cameras used on the boats are hardly old webcam quality. So don't bother wasting a dollar getting the HD version like I did.

Boring

This is merely a report of the progress of the race. No story, no background information, nothing. Watching a few Vendée Globe clips on Youtube is probably more entertaining.
