From the producers of 'Racing Around the World Alone' and 'The O Canada Project', comes 'Racing Auckland to Fiji Aboard O Canada', the last of three films in a themed series.
The Open 60 sailboat O Canada competes in it's first race since being rebuilt by master boat builder Alan West and tested at sea by skipper Dan Slater and a group of elite Canadian sailors in 'The O Canada Project'. The first race is Auckland New Zealand to Denarau, Fiji. O Canada and her new crew, including international Olympic star sailor Richard Clarke, are ready to take on the rest of the fleet and fight their way across the 1280 mile race course. The sailors work hard to prepare and we get an intimate look at their lifestyle and training regime before the race. During the race they will work with the elements to maximize their speed and out maneuver the fleet of 15 strong competitors. Mother nature provides widely varying conditions as the boats sail towards Fiji. The sailors experience hardships when the wind dies and they are running out of water. They are forced to improvise and we see their ingenuity at sea. With the beauty and world-renowned hospitality of Fijin culture awaiting them, the O Canada team struggles forward to complete the race at the head of the fleet. The personality and ability of these high caliber athletes is highlighted in this exploration of a sailor's life. With unrestricted access, this is a unique look at both an elite sailboat and her world-class crew.
