Probably old news here. I came across a French Movie just released on SBS on demand called Turning Tide
90% of it is set on a Vendee Globe yacht during the race and to my untrained eye it looks pretty real and interesting. A nice change to those US movies
I have to say there's nothing romantic about those boats.
Sorry edited above . Turning Tide not as previous

I saw one of the first projection of that movie in France and remember it was quite a performance for the actors and crew as they recorded most of it at sea, more than 15 people on the boat, half of them constantly sea-sick.

Ahh! But have you seen The Lady from Shanghai. Starring Errol's yacht "Zaca"

The photo is not from the movie, but note the fag in his hand, LOL

Actually it would be a bit of a stretch to call it a sailing movie, but.......
I did enjoy Turning Tide though.
