This man has got more balls than the current and army and navy have combined. They don't make men that tough anymore..... Only pathetic men are scared to be alone for long periods. You are a pioneer sir Johnston...keep sailing

Such a great documentary. Would love to see more of the unaired footage.

Massive respect

This man has class ,and what he did helping the family keep their home ,I got nothing but respect for you sir .when I grow up I want to be just like you .

Just found out about this guy he’s fuckin awesome

Knox-Johnston is truly a British Legend ✊️ I can't sail to save My Life but Listening to Sir Robin Knox-Johnston I'm there with Him 🤗🤗🤗🤗

One of our sailing Legends

Who made his sails?

what a decent man he was giving the prize money to Crowhurst's widow and children.

"My God, the French have gotten to my family as well" 😂😂

His book 'A World of My Own' is my favourite.

7:30 "Gosh, the French have got at my family as well." HA! What a card.

What a hero.

The kind of British hero that kids could look up to, who have they got now? Pop stars and footballers ?

The more I read about this particular seaman & gentleman, the more I admire him, he's right up there with Slocum & Willis in my humble opinion!

A great man.

This guy is super cool!!

Class is like a language. Somewhat like one's mother tongue. All the rest you learn over a lifetime. This is a man fluent in class.

"Going to sea is like going to prison...with a chance of drowning besides"...SJ

No one come close to his charisma and true morale

Quel incroyable marin !

A really lovely boat.

a true British gentleman, as tough as they come.. a very rare breed of human, in this day and age

Natures gentleman with a heart of gold.

The extraordinary thing about both Moitessier and Knox Johnson was that just how at home they were at sea. Almost as if they were more dolphin than man.

He never judged crowhurst

Three days since the start of the commemorative anniversary. Fifty years later, nineteen sailors and the same equipment Sir Robin used to complete his voyage. Certainly is a hero!

What an honor to be introduced to RKJ by my mate Bruce Maxwell at Hawaii Yacht Club...in the bar of course!

Veteran UK , big difference between the sailing boat and a prison cell 24/7

Beautiful. Just beautiful. Thank You, friend, for putting this here to share with us. Love when He said "my God, they've got to my family too" :))) p.s. i've ALWAYS been a Tennent's Extra man!! :))

Robin Knox-Johnson, what a legend! He is so resilient and driven and strong in every way, and at the same time so kind. When he won the Golden Globe circumnavigation he gave his winnings to Clare Crowhurst to help with raising her children. This man is my hero. Thank you Robin for being such an inspiring tough strong man but also a gentleman! From Australia 🇦🇺

What a legend!

yep, real world is out there in the wind and waves, that is why Moitessier is the el winner of that race and Johnson is merely the recipient.

Hi. I'm looking for this track. I'm writing article about this race now in 2016. This video is not much redeable. Can You share part of leaders in bigger format? I'm trying to compare both races.

Veloce e senza fronzoli. Perfetto, grazie! I video su youtube, che spiegano cose semplici, che durano "mezz'ora", con magari anche intro di 2 minuti... non li sopporto! :D

hahahah ma che cazzo fa? Bisogna metterlo al rallenti !

I'm speechless.

A videón a Dimore-n lévõ groß egyébként még mindíg megvan, az azóta Gardazzurra néven futó Libera "A" pár éve még ezzel versenyzett... :)

5h 34m is the record of Dimore Del Garda

The man is my hero. That is what 'tough' and self reliant meant back in the day. Don't make them like that anymore.

He donated his prize money to the woman and her family who lost their husband in the race. That's why I like Knox-Johnston.

Falli più velocemente i nodi che così c'è pericolo che qualcuno capisca

"I have no right to let the me down, who's gotten me this far." -Friggin' *brilliant*.

'It would be much nicer if an Englishman did it first' hero ;)

Ciao, sto rimettendo in sesto un Tiburon, cerco consigli e idee. Vedo che hai scelto dei rinvii a piede d'albero per le drizze. Riguardo il video per scoprire altre idee, ma se hai un pianetto o delle foto mi daresti una grande mano d'aiuto. Io sto anche pensando di montare una delfiniera o un piccolo bompresso per montare un genoa in testa d'albero (a te la barca non risulta sempre un po' orziera?)

Ciao, ho letto che la barca non è tua, ma puoi mettermi in contatto col proprietario? Io ne ho una uguale e vorrei rimetterla a nuovo, i suoi consigli e l'esperienza derivante dai magnifici lavori che ha fatto mi sarebbero davvero utilissimi! Grazie, in ogni caso.

COn sotto la voce del Fabio!!! Ciao john

Grande Fabio ....!!!!!

Grandissimo record, bellissimo video. Luca Salvi (Ita 93 - 4o posto Cento 1994)
