STURMFAHRT - The World's Toughest Sailing Race
The rules are simple but merciless: sail around the world alone, nonstop and unassisted, where mishaps have grave consequences. It’s the ultimate test of endurance, self-reliance and grit. This is German skipper Boris Herrmann’s firsthand chronicle of his daring 2020 Vendee Globe campaign. Using footage captured onboard, he struggles against treacherous seas, remote isolation, constant threat, a myriad of hardships…and his own limits. —BB
