The first of seven programmes Bob Bell 's Maxi Racer Condor
Every sailor has an individual dream of the perfect boat. For Bob Bell it's the 80.ft long ocean racer Condor. Bob Fisher traces the return of interest in big boat racing after a lapse of 40 years, from sunny Sardinian seas to the grey waters of the Solent, and watches Condor join her big sisters in the Seahorse Maxi Regatta.
