Editorial Reviews

This historical documentary video of the Transpacific Yacht Race traces one of the world's most prestigious sailing events. It features the men, women and even children who challenged 2,225 nautical miles of the Pacific under sail. It's all there: the tree-size topmast of Goodwill at 161 feet snapped off and threatening to destroy the boat at any moment; Ted Sierks, miraculously rescued after being lost overboard for 29 hours; and lots more.

This review is from: Transpac: A Century Across the Pacific (DVD)

Enjoy this movie immensely. Learning the history of the Transpac race, it is well covered and fun. Some reviews said it was about Disney and I would say quite the opposite. Disney and his races were covered because they are a part of the history of the transpac. As a sailor, I enjoy the breakdown in the race, the different accomplishments and the hurdles. I give it an A+++
