This video clip is a unique insight into the thoughts of yachting’s legendary solo sailor who created history by becoming the first person to ever circumnavigate the world single-handed, a voyage that took 312 days. Forty-five years later – what drives Sir Robin Knox-Johnston to take up the challenge of pitting himself against the ocean in the transatlantic challenge of the Route De Rhum?

How has solo sailing changed since his epic voyage in 1969? What are the modern day challenges? Sir Robin tells us and also reveals personal insights on his thoughts and what he misses when alone on the waves and far from land. We also get to discover what a typical day is like, what he eats and how much he manages to sleep.

It’s fascinating to know what’s a special treat after a long and difficult day… and who are the people that give him the inspiration for his adventures. Sir Robin expresses his views on whether age is any obstacle to the ability to sail competitively…and also recalls a remarkable encounter with a blue whale!

Uniquely fascinating…
