    Worked for me

    No movie todate has express sailing as a fun, athletic, and cranium-using sport such as this movie. Bravo. My mission is to get non-sailing friends to see the movie in hopes they are motivated to join me sailing this summer or at least understand why I love the sport of sailing. They've only seen WIND which is more Disney than this Disney film. Not a homerun but it works. I was entertained and hopefully others will be inspired.

    My dad has sailed the Pacific cup(Race from San Francisco to Oahu) in 2002,2004 & 2006 all double-handed. This movie is an excellent honest documentary of the excitement and challenges of an open ocean race! Even if your not a sailing guru, this movie has enough drama to keep you entertained!
