Sail Around the World

This 16mm feature-length documentary celebrates the filmmaker’s 28,000 mile single-handed circumnavigation through the roaring forties and around Cape Horn aboard his Alberg 30 sloop. Shot in 16mm color film with sync sound, With Jean-du-Sud Around the World puts you in the cockpit: Yves speaks as he would to a fellow crew member. Unless you do it yourself, this is as close as you’ll ever get to a solo circumnavigation.
