A tour of Cape Horn with Sir Robin Knox-Johnston

Extracts from a magnificent one hour BBC 2 documentary of Sir Robin Knox-Johnston and Skip Novak, owner of yacht Pelagic, sailing from the Beagle Channel to Cape Horn and then landing on the notorious rock. As crew he takes Sir Ranulph Fiennes and John Simpson.

Sir Robin was the first yachtsman to be granted membership of the Cape Horners (then the AICH). Prior to then. the members had all qualified on square riggers.

@Sarah224622 OK, I give in, where does MattG send you here?! I've checked his recent videos and ............

[Carloyal]

What type of boat is that ? is it made from steel or aluminium ?

[CapeHorners]

@Carloyal Steel! I've amended the description.

Great footage of a very difficult passage. Glad it's on Youtube for all to see!

[CapeHorners]

@prscheownr Thanks.

Ran didn't give the full description of sea-sickness. Stage 1 is you think you're going to die. Stage 2 is you hope you're going to die.

[Sarah224622]

@CapeHorners you can find the broadcast in which he watched the video and in which he sent us here on his page on younow.com :]

@odderanswer That is a pretty apt description, I've only ever been seasick twice and that was EXACTLY how I felt both times.
