In 1968, Donald Crowhurst set sail from his sleepy seaside town of Teignmouth, England. His goal was to complete a round the world trip in a one man yacht spending a lonely 10 months at sea without stopping. As his wife and children watched the sail disappear over the horizon, they never suspected it would be the last time they ever saw him.
Crowhurst had lived a simple life prior to his decision to enter the Golden Globe race. He earned enough to support his family but they were still poor. Upon hearing about the boat race Crowhurst decided this was his opportunity to do something great. Something to be remembered by.
