00:00:40,374 --> 00:00:44,243
Story has it that many years ago
when the Spanish sailed to the West Indies

4
00:00:44,374 --> 00:00:46,866
they brought their horses with them
to the New World

5
00:00:46,999 --> 00:00:51,414
and sometimes they ran out of wind and
then they ran out of fresh water as well.

00:02:16,874 --> 00:02:20,538
Greetings. Welcome to the 25th
Annual Earls Court Boat Show,

14
00:02:20,666 --> 00:02:23,454
brought to you by "The Sunday Times"
and John Courage.

15
00:02:23,582 --> 00:02:25,699
Speaking of courage, without further ado,

16
00:02:25,832 --> 00:02:28,290
I would like to welcome
one of our greatest heroes,

17
00:02:28,416 --> 00:02:31,909
the first man to single-handedly
circumnavigate the globe,

18
00:02:32,041 --> 00:02:36,115
and now a Knight of the Realm,
Sir Francis Chichester.

19
00:02:39,082 --> 00:02:40,539

Thank you.

22
00:02:46,291 --> 00:02:50,706
So the only thing that I can imagine
that would test a man

23
00:02:50,832 --> 00:02:54,826
more than sailing around the world
in a boat alone,

24
00:02:54,957 --> 00:02:58,826
stopping only once,
is not stopping at all.

25
00:02:59,457 --> 00:03:02,621
And "The Sunday Times"
has asked me here today

26
00:03:02,749 --> 00:03:06,789
to announce just such a challenge.

And I believe the details will be
in tomorrows edition of the newspaper.

35
00:03:31,541 --> 00:03:35,581
Wild horses wouldn't drag me
back to the sinister Southern Ocean.

36
00:03:36,916 --> 00:03:41,832
I believe a man said that the waves there
measured not in feet and inches,

37
00:03:41,957 --> 00:03:44,995
but in increments of fear.

38
00:03:46,666 --> 00:03:49,830
A man alone on a boat

39
00:03:49,957 --> 00:03:53,746
is more alone than any man alive.

40
00:03:53,874 --> 00:03:55,490
MAN: Then why would anyone go?

41
00:03:55,624 --> 00:03:57,866
Well, that indeed is a fair question,

42
00:03:57,999 --> 00:04:02,369
because to only do
what has been done before

43
00:04:02,499 --> 00:04:06,493
is to live ones life
in the shadow of other men.

44
00:04:07,541 --> 00:04:09,658
And for that reason alone,

45
00:04:09,791 --> 00:04:13,535
we are blessed by the size of the sea,

46
00:04:13,666 --> 00:04:18,832

seeking adventure.

00:04:19,666 --> 00:04:21,282

CROWHURST: The question that any man
who's dreamed himself beyond the horizon

49
00:04:32,207 --> 00:04:34,950
must ask himself is,
"Where am I going?"

50
00:04:35,082 --> 00:04:38,154
Closely followed, I assume, by,
"How in Gods name do I get back?"

51
00:04:38,291 --> 00:04:41,864
Precisely, and this device answers
both of those questions

52
00:04:41,999 --> 00:04:44,332
because it places the latitude
and the longitude

53
00:04:44,457 --> 00:04:46,164

55

by Electron Utilization of Teignmouth.

57

Built by us. In our own backyard.

58
00:04:57,999 --> 00:05:00,286
How does it work?
Its ingeniously simple.

59
00:05:00,416 --> 00:05:03,079
By comparing signal strengths
of radio beacons on land,

60
00:05:03,207 --> 00:05:04,698
you can tell where you are at sea.

61
00:05:04,832 --> 00:05:08,781
James, over here, is a radio beacon
at Lands End.

62
00:05:08,916 --> 00:05:13,581
And Simon, over here,
is transmitting from La Rochelle.

63
00:05:15,374 --> 00:05:19,869
And you just point the Navicator
and fire like so,

64
00:05:19,999 --> 00:05:22,867
and, hey presto,
you have your position.

65
00:05:22,999 --> 00:05:24,956
And unlike other directional finders,

66
00:05:25,082 --> 00:05:27,916
it has an incorporated compass,
and it is so compact that...

67
00:05:28,041 --> 00:05:30,624
BOYS: It can be operated
with just one hand.

68
00:05:30,749 --> 00:05:34,698
Leaving this one free to hoist
a spinnaker in a favourable wind.

69
00:05:34,832 --> 00:05:36,619
Or hoist a drink.

71

Captain Chichester might've benefitted
from this out in the Roaring Forties.

72
00:05:42,999 --> 00:05:47,369
Perhaps. It appears Sir Francis managed
to find his way around fine without it.

but we don't go out to sea much.

00:11:09,541 --> 00:11:12,613
it would result in children
who are proud of their father

171
00:11:12,749 --> 00:11:15,821
for doing what no other man
in the county would even contemplate.

172
00:11:20,041 --> 00:11:21,998
I think I can win this race, Clare.

173
00:11:29,249 --> 00:11:31,866
WOMAN: Dons not still
talking about making a boat?

174
00:11:31,999 --> 00:11:34,912
CLARE: Yes.
Clare, you have to stop him.

175
00:11:35,041 --> 00:11:40,287
Stop him from... dreaming?
Well, how would you suggest I do that?

176
00:11:40,416 --> 00:11:43,124
WOMAN: No, not from dreaming.
Dreaming's one thing.

177
00:11:43,249 --> 00:11:48,290
But leaving in a boat on some sunny day
is quite another.

178
00:11:48,416 --> 00:11:52,035
Well, I have complete faith
that he will wake up from this dream

179
00:11:52,166 --> 00:11:54,874
before that sunny day actually arrives.

180
00:11:54,999 --> 00:11:58,242
He usually does.
You think hell change his mind?

181
00:11:58,374 --> 00:12:01,412
Well, that's what I admire about Don.

182
00:12:01,541 --> 00:12:04,864
He has a mind that's
capable of change.

183
00:12:06,041 --> 00:12:07,782
You want to build a boat?

184
00:12:10,041 --> 00:12:12,579
This boat, it'll be a trimaran.

185
00:12:12,707 --> 00:12:15,074
A three-hulled vessel
based on the Piver design.

186
00:12:15,207 --> 00:12:18,371
It'll feature a treasure trove
of technical innovations,

187
00:12:18,499 --> 00:12:20,365
all pioneered by Electron Utilization,

188
00:12:20,499 --> 00:12:23,663
incorporating the Navicator
and a dozen other major innovations.

189
00:12:23,791 --> 00:12:26,955
It'll feature an inflatable buoyancy
device at the top of the mast.

190
00:12:27,082 --> 00:12:28,618
So, if she gets into trouble,

191
00:12:28,749 --> 00:12:31,708
the CO2 cartridge is triggered
by the capsizing event,

192
00:12:31,832 --> 00:12:34,825
shoots up the mast,
and inflates the buoyancy bag at the top.

193
00:12:34,957 --> 00:12:37,370
So if she goes over,
shell just pop back up again.

194
00:12:37,499 --> 00:12:40,492
Without question,
it'll be the fastest boat in the race.

195
00:12:40,624 --> 00:12:42,115
We enter it in the Golden Globe.

196
00:12:42,249 --> 00:12:45,367
The biggest sailing race ever
becomes our advertising campaign.

197
00:12:45,499 --> 00:12:46,831
"We" enter it?

198
00:12:46,957 --> 00:12:49,745
I didn't come here
asking for charity, Mr Best.

199
00:12:49,874 --> 00:12:51,365
Im offering something new.

200
00:12:51,499 --> 00:12:53,536
Who pilots the boat?
I do.

201
00:12:53,666 --> 00:12:57,114
You? Have you ever done anything
like that before?

202
00:12:57,249 --> 00:13:00,367
No, but that's the point.
That's the business proposition.

203
00:13:00,499 --> 00:13:03,913
If I can do it, then so can the bloke
who stares at the horizon in wonder.

204
00:13:04,041 --> 00:13:05,907
If Im putting in the money...

205
00:13:09,207 --> 00:13:10,664
...what are you putting in?

206
00:13:10,791 --> 00:13:12,327
Everything else.

207
00:13:15,666 --> 00:13:18,158
HALLWORTH: So you're not really a sailor?

208
00:13:18,291 --> 00:13:21,034
CROWHURST: Seems to me the act
of sailing makes one a sailor.

209
00:13:21,166 --> 00:13:24,910
How about you, Mr Hallworth?
How did you come to be a press agent?

210
00:13:26,332 --> 00:13:30,030
Oh, I was a reporter for a time.
A crime reporter.

211
00:13:30,166 --> 00:13:34,080
So your experience as a press agent
appears to rival that of mine as a sailor?

212
00:13:34,207 --> 00:13:35,743
Touché, Mr Crowhurst.

213
00:13:35,874 --> 00:13:39,697
But, you see, publicity can be done
from the safety of a desk chair

214
00:13:39,832 --> 00:13:43,655
whereas your competitors have a great deal
more experience at the helm of a boat.

215
00:13:43,791 --> 00:13:48,365
Nobody has experience of sailing round
the globe single-handed without stopping.

216
00:13:48,499 --> 00:13:51,822
And the proof of that is the simple fact
it has not been done before.

217
00:13:51,957 --> 00:13:53,698
(CHUCKLES) Its a good point, that.

218
00:13:53,832 --> 00:13:57,701
Yes, but then there's, you see,
for example, there's this Frenchman.

219
00:13:57,832 --> 00:13:59,869
Moitessier.
Moitessier.

220
00:13:59,999 --> 00:14:03,322
Now he sailed from Tahiti to Cape Horn,
through the Southern Ocean.

221
00:14:03,457 --> 00:14:06,746
Two of these other bastards rowed
a bloody boat across the Atlantic.

222
00:14:06,874 --> 00:14:08,911
Another commanded a submarine
in the war.

223
00:14:09,041 --> 00:14:13,206
Moitessier, Knox-Johnston, Tetley and
the others, they're accomplished sailors.

224
00:14:13,332 --> 00:14:16,575
But when I win the Golden Globe...
You cant think you're going to win?

225
00:14:16,707 --> 00:14:18,869
Making it out to sea
is a feat for you, isn't it?

226
00:14:18,999 --> 00:14:21,958
Chichester averaged
131 miles a day in his ketch.

227
00:14:22,082 --> 00:14:25,075
I believe I can make 200 in a trimaran.
(LAUGHS)

228
00:14:25,207 --> 00:14:27,494
I tell you what I see
when I look at you, Donald.

229
00:14:28,874 --> 00:14:31,617
I see a part of England that's been lost.

230
00:14:31,749 --> 00:14:35,413
The intrepid part that Churchill convinced
us of when the bomb were falling.

231
00:14:35,541 --> 00:14:37,624
That "never say die" England.

232
00:14:38,249 --> 00:14:42,414
I tell you, you're a story of derring-do
waiting to be told, Donald Crowhurst.

233
00:14:44,124 --> 00:14:45,490
JAMES: When do you set sail?

234
00:14:45,624 --> 00:14:49,413
Well, the rules of the race state that
competitors leave by October 31st.

235
00:14:49,541 --> 00:14:51,077
So, before then.

236
00:14:51,207 --> 00:14:53,574
SIMON: And how will you go?
The clipper route.

237
00:14:53,707 --> 00:14:58,452
Down the Atlantic past Cape of Good Hope
and into the Southern Ocean.

238
00:14:58,582 --> 00:15:01,325
Not really a place
for our little Pot Of Gold.

239
00:15:01,457 --> 00:15:05,406
Streaking across the Roaring Forties
south of Australia, north past Cape Horn,

240
00:15:05,541 --> 00:15:07,828
and back into the Atlantic again.

241
00:15:07,957 --> 00:15:09,744
Trudging across the Horse Latitudes

242
00:15:09,874 --> 00:15:13,242
before getting a last puff
from the Westerlies.

243
00:15:13,374 --> 00:15:14,990
JAMES: Wow! What an adventure!

244
00:15:15,832 --> 00:15:20,281
HALLWORTH: So far we've got plenty of
tinned goods from Crosse & Blackwell.

245
00:15:20,416 --> 00:15:24,706
We've got a commitment from Whitbread
for barley wine. Looks nice.

246
00:15:24,832 --> 00:15:29,623
Now, also, the BBC are going to provide
you with a camera and tape recorder.

247
00:15:29,749 --> 00:15:33,072
They're wanting you to keep an audio
and visual record for a film piece

248
00:15:33,207 --> 00:15:35,620
they're planning on your voyage.
Film?

249
00:15:35,749 --> 00:15:38,662
They want you keep
a daily written account, as well,

250
00:15:38,791 --> 00:15:41,534
so you'll come back
a sailor and an author.

251
00:15:41,666 --> 00:15:45,239
Golden Globe, slate one, take one.

252
00:15:47,457 --> 00:15:50,996
Your husband will be gone for six months
with only intermittent contact.

253
00:15:51,124 --> 00:15:53,332
Is that daunting to you?

254
00:15:55,999 --> 00:15:59,572
Im going to need you
to send me frequent updates.

255
00:15:59,707 --> 00:16:01,915
I can drum up all the publicity
and whatnot,

256
00:16:02,041 --> 00:16:04,499
but I want you to help me feed the beast.

257
00:16:05,291 --> 00:16:06,498
The beast?

258
00:16:07,249 --> 00:16:12,290
Well, naturally, I shall miss him because
hes the most marvelous company, but...

259
00:16:12,416 --> 00:16:16,330
Well, I told myself its only six months,
and were going to manage in that time.

260
00:16:16,874 --> 00:16:19,617
And I have no reservations whatsoever
about his safety,

261
00:16:19,749 --> 00:16:24,164
because hes the sort of person
who will think of 1,001 ways

262
00:16:24,291 --> 00:16:25,748
out of any situation.

263
00:16:27,791 --> 00:16:32,286

Golden Globe race, Robin Knox-Johnston,

267
00:16:41,416 --> 00:16:42,827
is leaving today.

268
00:16:43,457 --> 00:16:46,575
The Golden Globe trophy
will be offered to the first person...

269
00:16:46,707 --> 00:16:49,825
Hes leaving today,
and were not even in the water yet.

270
00:16:49,957 --> 00:16:52,665
He may get back before I do,
but the question remains,

271
00:16:52,791 --> 00:16:55,204
who can make the trip the fastest?

272
00:16:55,332 --> 00:16:57,198
So, when are we leaving?

273
00:16:57,999 --> 00:16:59,786
August at the latest.

274
00:17:00,499 --> 00:17:02,991
Don't want to give them all
too much of a head start.

275
00:17:03,124 --> 00:17:06,117
I am not going
to ask Mr Best for more money.

276
00:17:06,249 --> 00:17:08,081
That's out of the question.

277
00:17:08,207 --> 00:17:12,156
With all the new ideas, we seem
to be getting further and further behind.

278
00:17:12,999 --> 00:17:16,037
Are you telling me August 1st
is no longer possible?

279
00:17:16,166 --> 00:17:18,533
Don, it never really was.
September 1st?

280
00:17:18,666 --> 00:17:21,033
Aiming for October 1st,
more realistically.

281
00:17:21,166 --> 00:17:24,409
Or we need to put more people on,
double our shifts.

282
00:17:24,541 --> 00:17:27,500
No, no. The success of the project...
Associated costs...

283
00:17:27,624 --> 00:17:28,956
No!

284
00:17:29,749 --> 00:17:31,411
BEST: Two more left this morning.

285
00:17:31,541 --> 00:17:34,989
I don't believe any of the three can
average more than 4.5 knots per day.

286
00:17:35,124 --> 00:17:38,743
Maybe 100 miles. Lucky to complete
the route in less than 300 days.

287
00:17:38,874 --> 00:17:41,708
And you?
Closer to nine knots and as high as 15.

288
00:17:41,832 --> 00:17:43,994
That's the great advantage
of the trimaran.

289
00:17:44,124 --> 00:17:47,617
130 days for the entire trip.
So, a departure in October...

290
00:17:47,749 --> 00:17:52,915

plays cosmic chess with the devil.

1013
01:20:08,124 --> 01:20:13,916
Its difficult to know who's winning,
because God plays with one set of rules,

1014
01:20:15,457 --> 01:20:19,906
and the Devil plays with the other
exactly opposite set of rules.

1015
01:20:21,291 --> 01:20:24,363
But one thing is clear.

1016
01:20:25,582 --> 01:20:27,574
The only real sin...

1017
01:20:29,457 --> 01:20:31,949
...is the sin of concealment.

I tried.

1033
01:22:57,624 --> 01:23:00,241
But in the end,
I was forced to admit that nature...

1034
01:23:01,249 --> 01:23:04,913
...forces on cosmic beings
the only sin that they're capable of.

1035

Yeah. He never planned
on being held to account.

or if he jumped...
as you're now saying.

that if he did jump, he was pushed.
