The Best Movies About Sailing
When my little yacht is on shore I love to watch movies about sailing. These are my personal favourites:
14-year-old Laura Dekker sets out on a two-year voyage in pursuit of her dream to become the youngest person ever to sail around the world alone.
After a collision with a shipping container at sea, a resourceful sailor finds himself, despite all efforts to the contrary, staring his mortality in the face.
A documentary about the disastrous 1968 round-the-world yacht race.
A documentary about the Kon-Tiki expedition of the Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl.
An unusually intense storm pattern catches some commercial fishermen unaware and puts them in mortal danger.
The true story of a 16 year old (Robin Lee Graham, played by Joseph Bottoms) who sailed alone around the world in a 23 foot sloop named "The Dove". On his journey he meets and falls in love with a young woman (Patti Ratteree, played by Deborah Raffin) who is also traveling around the world. The story follows Robin around the world to many beautiful locals, as he grows from a boy to a man, finds himself, and finds the love of his life.
