The true story of the tragic round-the-world yacht race - now the subject of The Mercy, starring Colin Firth and Rachel WeiszIn 1968, the Sunday Times organised the Golden Globe race-an incredible test of endurance never before attempted-a round the world yacht race that must be completed single-handed and non-stop.This remarkable challenge inspired those daring to enter-with or without sailing experience. The remaining five each have their own remarkable story. A Race Too Far is the story of how the race unfolded, and how it became a tragedy for many involved.Of the nine sailors who started the race, four realised the madness of the undertaking and pulled out within weeks.
Nigel Tetley sank Chay Blyth, fresh from rowing the Atlantic with John Ridgway, had no sailing experience but managed to sail round the Cape of Good Hope before retiring.
