Alone against the Atlantic
"The mast just broke...I've had to cut it away. Please...I don't want to be
a heroine; I just want to survive" - Judy Lawson
The Singlehanded TransAtlantic Race from Plymouth, England to Newport, Rhode Island attracts an international roster of sailors -- all with a passion for winning. No American had ever won this prestigious race. AMERICAN CHALLENGE is the intimate on-board story of seven American solo sailors who tried. Automatic cameras installed on their boats record a unique, close-up view of men and women facing constant danger. Three thousand miles of pounding to windward strips away the veneer to reveal the human spirit alone against the inexorable power of the sea.
"The most exciting sea documentary I have ever seen...Unmistakably a classic." William F. Buckley, Jr., The New Yorker.

| THE BOC CHALLENGE 1986 - 87 |
 |
The dramatic story of the Second BOC Challenge.
Sailors tested to their limits in a 27,000 mile race alone around the world.
"The wave just kept rising. It took the boat and turned it right over. When it came back up, I wasn't on board anymore. It took me 10 seconds to puIl myself back." Harry Harkimo, Finland
Twenty-five competitors reach the starting line for the second BOC Around Alone Race -- 27,000 miles solo around the world. The calm August day soon dissolves into a battle with the world's most grueling element: the sea. The Race takes them to the Southern Ocean where waves tower as high as 100 feet, knockdowns are common, and drifting icebergs are a silent threat. Some drop out as their boats buckle under the punishment. With the tragic loss overboard of sailor Jacques de Roux, each must come to terms with the race's true challenge: survival. Eight months after the start, Philippe Jeantot of France wins for the second time; but each competitor who returns to Newport earns the thrill of achieving an ultimate goal in yacht racing. "This 53-minute video with excellent editing, narration and musical scores, presents the whole race in an enthralling package." Sailing Magazine.
