Deep Water (2006): Setting Sail

The clip Setting Sail from Deep Water (2006)

Swinton: As the construction of Crowhurst's
revolutionary boat began,
his rivals, one by one, were setting sail.
With the prize for the fastest voyage
as well as the first man home,
the men were free to leave at any time,
so long as they sailed by the race deadline...
October the 31st.
Knox-Johnston: I think there were some similarities between us
and astronauts.
People were just beginning to go round the moon
at that time, in fact the first trip around the moon.
There was a lot of interest in what happened to people
when they're suddenly shoved up clear of the earth.
And I suppose they looked upon us the same way.
You know, we're basically in a small capsule,
we're setting off to go round the world. It's extremely dangerous.
Anyone who goes to sea
and says they don't feel fear is a liar.
Of course you're frightened.
Bernard Moitessier: When I left Plymouth,
Françoise was onboard the launch following me.
She was not very happy with that.
It's always a case of having to sacrifice one thing for another.
You have to choose between your life and a woman,
and it's got to be your own life, hasn't it?
Without hesitation.
Bernard: Around the world without stopping,
single-handed... it's an enormous challenge.
It's incredibly demanding.
