We can all agree that sailing around the world is no easy feat and that to sail around the world single handedly takes a special kind of person. In the ninth episode of 80 Seconds with Sir Robin Knox-Johnston he shares his thoughts on how to prepare for an around the world voyage alongside host Dee Caffari.

Watch as they reflect on how to cope with being totally cut off and alone for long periods of time at sea. The subsequent advice given by one of the world's most renowned adventurers is relevant to any form of endurance challenge and provides insight into the self-discipline and determination required to succeed.
