That's a great film, saw it at its launch in the Lighthouse. Bit frustrating, in that it jumps from Tracy being a skivvy on charter boats in Greece to suddenly remortgaging a house to buy a boat to skipper around the world - left me kinda WTF??

Nevertheless it's a great story, well worth a watch.

Some of the attitudes back then were pretty jaw-dropping (and not all the dinosaurs are dead!).

Excellent.

Can't wait to see this, the trailer was brilliant.

That fazisi was some looking yoke. They were another very interesting story out of that race with a suicide thrown in for extra intrigue

I enjoyed that - great recommendation, thanks.

Great story. Bit of a 'Cool Runnings' feel to it!

Interesting restoration & "conversion" of a round the world racer to family cruiser. Think the cover they built over the wheel looks dire though

I would say, yes.
Not the crash bang wallop of Sydney-Hobart but captured the race rivalry and the labour of love quite well.

Excellent! Look forward to it!

Americas Cup World Series starting tomorrow on Sky Sports and YouTube.
Seriously impressive flying machines but I think the old 12 Metres were more tactical to watch.

I've no interest in watching these foiling things, same as I had no interest in watching the previous gen foiling cat's. 1 mistake/bad tack/gybe and your race is pretty much over.

Bring back the 12m's and I'll watch all day long.....

Awww, that was lovely. If all a bit too gentle!

They remind me so much of the Glens in Dublin Bay, a whole culture all of their own.

I can never get over serious (or any) racing boats with no rails :eek:

I'm kinda looking forward to this series - at least they're boats (as I recognise them), with actual sails as opposed to adapted aircraft wings. Or I think they are anyway.

Must see if there's any vintage footage from years ago and treat myself to a night of racing envy! Any recommendations gratefully accepted.

Loads on YouTube. I think there's some full races from 87 on there. Good documentary aswell on team new zealand for the 95 cup

Just caught some of the Prada Cup there on BBC2, and as expected the AC75’s aren’t very interesting to watch racing...

And you have to feel for the Brits who fall off the foils every time they tack, so it looks like a massive design error on their part....

This a good one, screen grab of a for sale ad for Ineos. Think the ad was pulled. It will download in pdf
