4.0 out of 5 stars If sailing piques your interest, you'll be mesmerised..., May 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Drum: The Journey of A Lifetime [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This documentary is a fascinating tale of 24 men who's lives were changed forever by their beloved 77 foot maxi-yacht, Drum. A short time out into the Fastnet race, she lost her keel and nearly killed all of the men. Not your typical rock star tale. Although Simon le Bon was at the time, and still is, a respected musician - he is also a respected sailor.

What you may not find out in this documentary, sad to say, is that Simon was instrumental in saving the life of a man who was trapped in the hull of the yacht when it capsized. Simon does not take credit for that heroic effort - but the rest of the crew have, in the past, talked of his being one of the biggest reasons for their survival.

Celebrate with the crew of Drum as they come in third in the Whitbred Round The World Race - not a bad finish when you find out how they just barely got there!

The video was great but the audio portion was terrible. Sounded like the battery was running low while filming and recording the music.
