The Voyage Of Madmen - Golden Globe Race 2018

In 1968 nine men set out to attempt the impossible - a voyage for madmen - the race to become the first person to sail solo and unassisted around the world. Only one man, Sir Robin Knox Johnston, finished, winning The Sunday Times Golden Globe. Thus, a yachting legend was born, and the racing industry forever changed.

Fifty years later Don McIntyre’s quest to attract amateur sailors to compete without modern technological aids, in the spirit of the original race, is a beacon for the daring souls of our time. For these dreamers inspired to take on the perils of the sea, this is an against-the-odds story in which surviving a non-stop lap of the world is the achievement. Of the 18 solo sailors to depart France, five solitary skippers cross the finish line, the final finisher spending 322 days in the watery wilderness.

The Voyage of Madmen is the amazing true story of the longest sporting event in history - a display of brutal individualism by characters longing for a by-gone era as they recreate the loneliest and most grueling sports event ever attempted on the planet.
