"The Weekend Sailor"

[Rappey]

The weekend sailor is about an inexperienced mexican millionaire who thought it would be fun to buy a boat and enter the first 1973 whitbread round the world yacht race.
Worth a watch.. incredible story.

There is a lot to chat about but don't want to spoil the video for people that have not seen it..
The guy and his family still own and sail the boat today !

The channel has another sailing related video..
I tried to skip through to get an idea of what it is about but every time you skip forwards or backwards on youtube its yet more adverts.
A Man with little long distance sailing experience builds a plywood yacht to take part in a race across the Atlantic !
If i post it on this forum i can watch it here as there never seems to be adverts when played this forum
