This is the world’s loneliest race: sailing solo around the globe

Imagine spending eight or nine months alone at sea: no GPS, no phone - just you, your boat and the endless ocean. #TheLoneliestRace #GoldenGlobeRace #GGR
Set against the backdrop of the world's most punishing seas, The Loneliest Race is an intimate
documentary that delves into the emotional and physical trials of sixteen sailors in the Golden
Globe Race.
This non-stop, 50,000 km solo sailing race is the world’s longest and most mentally
grueling sporting event, pushing competitors to the limit with no fuel, no technology, and
complete isolation. Only six sailors have ever successfully completed the GGR.

Incredible! As a girl living on a sailboat Kristen's story is ssssssooooooo inspiring!! ❤❤❤

[@oldrowrowyourboat]

How could you possibly leave out Kirsten saving Tapios life in a documentary about the 2023 GGR? Unbelievable!

[@CBCdocs]

The filmmakers would obviously have loved to include the rescue in the film, unfortunately there is virtually no footage of it. Anything Tapio recorded is at the bottom of the ocean along with his boat, and Kirsten wasn’t able to film it. But, we’re grateful that part of the story has been well documented in news articles.

Nice documentary. Thank you CBC. We need you to cover more sailing in Canada and around the world. Last June, in Quebec city, there were a transatlantic race from Quebec city to Larochelle in France. Unfortunately no media showed up that day :( This is where we need a public broadcaster to jump-in.

[@allancrow134]

Now there's an adventure. Hats off to the winners and the tryers. Well done to you all.

[@GloryDaze73]

❤❤incredible journey! These people are on another level of grit and determination.

Great Doc

[@Jolie_sailor]

Great stuff CBC.

[@carlosbonnet6242]

Thanks for such emotional moments! I got to see the footage I had been following through live tracking and daily updates. looking forward to watching the full documentary-just fantastic!

[@weggemann]

Well done, thank you for preparing this and sharing it with all of us.

[@BelindaFarage]

Despite knowing the results, this made me cry. The sheer courage it takes moment by moment. Nothing - NOTHING - like it. Deepest respect for ALL the sailors - whether you finished or not. I would be honored to shake your hands. 🙏⛵

[@mikedevlin2048]

So many untold stories…

[@Toniitony]

Abilash is a total monster! Nicest guy ever too. You could tell just looking at Kirsten’s eyes that she was not going to lose for anything. I feel honored to have sailed in Les sables d’olonne and to have met and hung out with The Don and had breakfast with coconuts and Ian and Simon. One of the highlights of my life, I was very lucky to have experienced that.

EXCELENTE VIDOO FELICITACIONES !!!!! LES MANDO UN GRAN SALUDO DESDE LATITUD 34 S. ARGENTINA !!!

[@ronbeaubien]

Such a great story!

[@bulentberksan9888]

Great video thank you very much. But I couldnt understand what happened to Simon. And who was the third finisher

[@eugenio1542]

Magic Carpet is finishing the rebuild of same boat in Canada. They made an excellent video of her leaving years ago into a raging storm 😮 Amandla Awethu 🇿🇦☝️♥️✌️🌍🙏

[@johncampbell388]

Why is Tapio's rescue missing? Anyway glad to relive the race.

[@CBCdocs]

GREAT question - there wasn't much footage of Tapio's rescue (for obvious reasons) and time was too tight to include! :(

[@skerminkel9971]

Indeed. Great video and Ian's rescue and Kirsten's finish had me misting up all over. Unfortunately you cannot claim to tell the 2022 GGR story without mentioning Tapio, even if it is not part of the main story you are trying to tell.

[@robthomas3968]

This is mad, good on them

[@rashidabdulharun6256]

Nice and entertaining video

[@psystealth]

25:45 spot on Abilash

[@sybillegorn1702]

This is exciting to watch

[@bking6591]

Who else noticed how close Guy was to Catragena when barnacles took hom out. Lol

[@JimmyCrackCorn_]

Im only here because the comments section is open.

[@omarrezk8605]

Good video

[@Toniitony]

Woop woop 🙌🏽

[@Ganjabeard5000]

nice

[@mikaoyry9144]

Tapio was not mentioned...

[@CBCdocs]

Believe us (and the filmmakers), Tapio's story would certainly have made it front and centre. Unfortunately there is virtually no footage of it as anything Tapio recorded is at the bottom of the ocean along with his boat, and Kirsten wasn’t able to film it. We’re grateful that part of the story has been well documented in news articles though.

[@sybillegorn1702]

Letting the boat made me sad

[@wardstogdill9914]

That could have been so much better. I followed the race and it was exciting. This documentary was actually kind of boring. Very disappointing honestly. Sorry to be so negative, but I feel like I could’ve done a better job and I don’t even know how to make a documentary.

[@Chris-zo5ze]

Well then, give it a try... My money is on you don't have a chance. So, pipe down over there.

[@EnglishLawyer]

They were such small boats. Incredible.
