The Magnificent Adventure
Narrated by CLIFF MICHELMORE
The Whitbread Round-the-World Race provided the ultimate challenge to the 177 men and women who made up the crews of the 17 yachts which sailed from Ports-mouth on 8 September, 1973.
Fourteen film cameras accompanied the competitors through the Roaring Forties, around Cape Horn, and back to the North Atlantic by way of Capetown, Sydney and Rio de Janeiro.
