BBC The Sailing Sixties 

Patrick Wentz my first boat was a bristol 29

That was exactly my thinking. Chichester, Knox-Johnston and Crowhurst have been done to death and weren't typical of sailing in the 60s. The bit about Mirrors, Enterprises and Centaurs (pictured, but a boat of the 70s iirc) with the increased pressure on moorings was more interesting.

I think you are right. He is!

....

But he didn't win. He could have done, but he chose to go around the world again which to him meant more than winning. But the way you write it is quite misleading, like he crossed the finish line but left refusing to take the prize, which he didn't. And its a documentary about British sailing in the sixties, so obviously it will focus more on that then French Sailors, I'm sure France has its own documentaries that focuses on French sailing. If you want to see a good documentary on this specific race then search for 'Deep Water', its free on youtube.

@@ceirwan I thought the title was Sailing in the sixties. Anyway, Moitessier did not win indeed, he was disgusted by the idea of coming back to Europe. Fair winds.

@@MrGino714 Sailing in the sixties, but I think it was a type of documentary by the BBC that focused on various aspects of British life in the sixties. They probably should have mentioned Bernard though, who was as you say a true gentleman, that said Knox Johnston donated his winnings to Crowhursts widow & has done a huge amount for Charity with his position, so I would say he is also a true gentleman.

@@ceirwan Absolutely, I was just teasing my dear British friends out there, no pun intended to this great sailor. What Lord Knox did after the race is indeed remarkable, not only giving the prize but really caring about this family. Fair winds.

its women, too. so wife and mistresses included. damn, what a boat...

I think plenty of women would leave their men for that boat, too!

"My intention is to continue, still nonstop, toward the Pacific Islands, where there is plenty of sun and more peace than in Europe. Please do not think I am trying to break a record "record" is a very stupid word at sea. I am continuing nonstop because I am happy at sea, and perhaps because I want to save my soul."

Big miss !

An Australian has sailed and rowed a Mirror dinghy from Shrewsbury to the Black Sea via assorted canals and rivers with the Thames Estuary to the British Channel perhaps being the most epic part. Another Australian (Ben Carlin) drove a Ford amphibious jeep from Halifax, Canada, to the UK via Spanish Morocco, Gibraltar and Europe and after a lengthy overhaul from the UK to India, across Burma to Thailand and Malaya and then Japan and the northern Pacific back to where he had bought the jeep in the USA. The jeep is at his old school in Western Australia, Guildford High School and his story of the full circumnavigation , "The other Half of Half Safe" is in print, from Guildford High School. If Alain Bombard could sail a rubber raft from Europe to the Caribbean drinking nothing but fish-juice, sea-water and rain, and if one could avoid pirates and bureaucrats, one probably could sail a Mirror dinghy round the world as long as one chose one's route and timing carefuly. An 11 foot aluminium yacht now in Brisbane's Museum certainly had certainly done some serious deep-water sailing.

@@robertfindlay2325 you up for it then, I'll helm first. We'll have to do shifts.

Wiener Woods being that this is about English sailing in the 1960s and Moitessier being a French sailor, makes you, an idiot.
