Sir Robin Knox-Johnston: Sailing Legend se uită la omul care a devenit prima persoană care a navigat singur și non-stop în jurul lumii. În propriile sale cuvinte, Sir Robin explică povestea din spatele realizarii sale epice de acum peste 50 de ani. Ascultați de la Ben Ainslie Alex Thomson Racing, Sir Chris Bonington și Dee Caffari despre modul în care Sir Robin continuă să-i inspire pe alții să-și împingă limitele și să fie aventuros. Aflați cum a fost să fii izolat, fără comunicări pentru a antrena oameni obișnuiți să devină concurenți oceanici. De la lupta cu valurile monstru, până la „pierdut pe mare” după ce și-a pierdut radioul și lupta cu un rechin, Sir Robin ușurează călătoria și împărtășește fotografii și înregistrări din jurnal nemaivăzute până acum. Documentarul se uită înapoi la viața, cariera, moștenirea sa remarcabilă și influența sa uluitoare asupra sportului. „Pentru mine, Sir Robin Knox-Johnston este o figură iconică și unul dintre cei mai mari marinari care au pus vreodată piciorul într-o barcă” – Sir Ben Ainslie „Lucrul care l-a făcut pe Robin să iasă atât de mult în evidență a fost că nu era bine cunoscut , nu era faimos, era un tip obișnuit care și-a construit propria barcă și a făcut ceva ce nimeni de pe pământ nu mai făcuse până acum. Prin puritate, curaj și determinare.” – John Simpson, corespondent BBC

  2. Had to drop by and watch this again! So much respect for Sir Robin! First human to single-handed, nonstop circumnavigate the globe! What an inspiring achievement!

  7. So, didn't Joshua Slocum do it alone without charts and only a $1.00 tin broken clock in the 1800s? What did this guy do that was so impressive and why is he credited with others achievements?

  13. My wife's book is a good read, published by Austin Macauley of New York, literally a fictional story of sailing and adventure: "Seychelle and the Cannabis Yachties". I hope you will give it a try.

  15. I read his book called A World of my Own while working on a cruise ship doing a world cruise from Southampton to Southampton in 4 months and was the best reading experience of my life. What a story! I dont think I'll ever do something like sail my own yacht around the world but just the idea of it and the stories told about it is fascinating.

  24. I’ve been a fan of Sir Robin for awhile but had NO idea the clipper races were his idea. What a man 🤯

    PS I always thought he was knighted after his first circumnavigation like Chichester and Rose.. I didn’t know it took him till later in life. I wonder why..

  26. The commanches produced the best horsemen in the world. The British the best sailors. What was that saying about a British sailor finding his way home in the Atlantic? "Sail north until you smell fish and chips and turn right" LOL

  27. That is what YouTube was built for. Gave up TV for a long time, and for films like this I’m happy to watch any ads. Kudos to of course The Sir, as well as to the film crew!

  28. O.G. I read the Hal Roth book and the passages about RKJ were the best! He was fixing his boat and had to stop to kill a shark that was stalking him. And then finished the repair. Like I said… O.G. Those that know, do. Those that don’t , don’t.

  31. He abandoned his family. Moitessier beat him in the race, but continued on to almost round again, instead of claiming his prize. Knox went to a private school, which seems hardly a humble beginning. Something of a manufactured legend.

  32. It's sad that moitisier is so forgotten. Not to take from Robin, moitisier was the first. He was way ahead, but for personal reasons decided to keep going for another lap, rather then collecting the prize of 5000 pounds.

  39. RKJ was great and a true knight but Bernard Motessiere was at least as good a sailor with the better boat. He started nearly 70 days after RKJ and when they rounded The Horn he was 19 days behind him and gaining. As they came up the Atlantic Motissiere started panicking at the notion of facing the crowds because he WOULD have the fastest time in the race (very different from First-Man-Home) and win the 5000 pound prize so he just went on around Cape of Good Hope and sailed another 20,000 miles, lol. Before the race started Motessier said, "Anyone who does this for the purse or for the glory will come to grief." And that is exactly what happened to Donald Crowhurst.

  40. Sir Robin Knox-Johnston is a remarkable and inspiring man. His care for others, indicated so early on through his donation to the Crowehurst family and continuing through his dedication to promoting the sport of sailing and all of the challenges that go with it to all walks of society is both commendable and legendary. He is truly one of the few heroes to whom we can all look to draw from his example of leadership and selflessness. Hats off to him.
