Fifteen young sailors... six months of intense training... one chance at the brass ring. This exciting True-Life documentary tells the inspiring story of a group of intrepid and determined young men and women, on the cusp of adulthood, as they embark on life’s first great adventure. Racing a high-performance 52-foot sloop in the TRANSPAC, the most revered of open-ocean sailing competitions, the crew of "Morning Light" matches wits and skills in a dramatic 2300 mile showdown against top professionals. From their earliest training sessions in Hawaii conducted by world-class teachers through their test of endurance on the high seas, they form an unbreakable bond in the process of becoming a singular team that is greater than the sum of its parts. Edited by one of the key filmmakers responsible for the acclaimed 2004 surfing documentary, "Riding Giants," written and directed by the team of filmmakers behind the recent rock documentary "Amazing Journey: The Story of the Who," and the critically acclaimed "Once in a Lifetime; The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos," "Morning Light" will appeal to the sense of adventure in everyone.

Enjoy!

Good heavens! Half their boat is missing, that's really scary.

Thanks for the tip, I'll be certain to go watch this.

One thing they will not show you in the Movie is coming up to the finish line off the coast they reached out past the layline so they could then raise the spinnaker and have a good shot for the Helicopter.
Can you imagine skipper a boat out accross the pacific then having some Hollywood director telling you to over shoot the layline for the finish so he can get a good picture...
