Terrific story about a very exciting event and an extremely capable woman, but the movie just seemed to me like a boring collection of fuzzy at-sea short takes, and Twitter length interviews.

WhenTerrific story about a very exciting event and an extremely capable woman, but the movie just seemed to me like a boring collection of fuzzy at-sea short takes, and Twitter length interviews. Almost like a puff piece for Tracy Edwards. When her boat finished the race at Southampton, accompanied by a huge flotilla of fans, I assumed she did quite well in the race.
