Against The Tide DVD-The Dramatic Story of the Clipper 09-10 Round the World Yacht Race

Against The Tide - The Dramatic Story of the Clipper 09-10 Round the World Yacht Race This is the high impact adventure television documentary series which follows ordinary people taking on the extraordinary challenge of circumnavigating the globe in the Clipper 09-10 Round the World Yacht Race.

Six action-packed episodes cram the ten months of this dramatic race into just under five hours of compelling, must-see television. From all walks of life, united by one incredible goal - to get around the world in an ocean racing yacht in one piece - many of the Clipper 09-10 participants had never set foot on a boat before, let alone sailed across oceans. In the course of their epic 35,000-mile journey these rookies from all over the world had to deal with the immense power of the sea, taking on everything Mother Nature could throw at them.

It was an incredible journey - a man overboard mid Atlantic, boat collision, dismastings, a shipwreck and a yacht being rolled in the remote North Pacific waters in near-hurricane conditions. As the race draws to its nail-biting conclusion, the series captures every twist, turn and emotion, leading to the final arrival of the teams in port, the winners' ceremonies and, most importantly, the reactions of the racers after the event, to discover exactly how this unforgettable experience has changed their lives forever.

This is not a sailing programme - it's human adventure on the high seas!
