Synopsis of the films, narrated by sailing Legend Gary Jobson.
California Campaign
After winning the 2010 Auckland to Fiji race, the newly refit Open 60 sailboat O Canada is transported to California to prepare for the Transpac Ocean Race. Led by world-renowned sailor, Richard Clarke, a team of five Canadians work hard sailing through an intense schedule for training days and races. We follow the evolution of this team from sailors, inexperienced in the Open 60 class, to a finely tuned crew, ready to take on the World's best on the Open Ocean.
The Transpac
The Open 60 sailboat O Canada and her all Canadian crew, led by world-renowned sailor, Richard Clarke, reunite to race in the Transpacific sailing race from Long Beach, California to Honolulu, Hawaii. You will be taken on the adventure of a lifetime as the team races across the Pacific. Every moment of life onboard is caught on camera in this extremely intimate look at offshore ocean racing.
