The Voyage of Madmen 2018 Golden Globe Race film

-

The Voyage of Madmen film, released today on the Golden Globe Youtube channel, is the story of Don McIntyre’s 50 year anniversary recreation of the infamous race and his quest to attract amateur sailors to compete in small boats, taking on the perils of the sea entirely against the odds.

  • In 1968, The Sunday Times Golden Globe Race was the first ever around-the-world solo yacht race.
  • Known at the time as a voyage for madmen, lives were forever changed – yachts sank, a suicide occurred and of the nine entries only one man finished – Sir Robin Knox-Johnston becoming the first person ever to sail solo, nonstop and unassisted around the globe.
  • No other race had occurred like it in half a century.
