Deep Water (2006): Crowhurst's Bad Start Part 2

The clip Crowhurst's Bad Start Part 2 from Deep Water (2006)

The public, the town of Teignmouth,
and Fleet Street
wanted this to work.
Swinton: But Crowhurst was now dangerously behind schedule.
All but one of the other sailors were underway.
He'd lost any chance of winning the trophy for first man home.
And to win the £5,000 cash prize,
he'd have to sail the world faster
than any of the racers ahead of him,
through a southern ocean that was already claiming casualties.
Kerr: Chay Blyth and John Ridgway
had been knocked out of the race.
Big seas had seen them off.
It was the first inkling
that this was not just an adventure,
but a very dangerous undertaking.
Winspear: Don was showing a lot of courage.
He was well aware of the risks.
But he felt he was capable of... of getting through it.
Kerr: Here now was a publicity machine at full blast.
I was there as a journalist.
I was producing a film.
I could see that the schedule was tight,
and when I got to Teignmouth,
it was chaos... total chaos.
Interviewer: It took far longer for you
to come around from the east coast
than you had originally planned.
What sort of pressures has this put on you as a result?
Well, it's a week less.
It means less time, you know.
The schedule is that much tighter.
Telephone!
Telephone!
Clare: I thought, "There's chaos here, you know, and that's worrying."
