Which voyage scene is yours?
Ten unforgettable scenes that put you right in the cockpit of a solo round-the-world race.
Departure
"Leaving the home port"
The dock lines are slipped, the starting cannon fires, and the open ocean lies ahead. Feel the mix of exhilaration and solitude as the coast disappears behind you.
At the Helm
"Full sail on open ocean"
Flying downwind in 20 knots, sails straining, spray in your face. The boat surges and you feel every wave beneath your feet — pure ocean-racing freedom.
Up the Mast
"Repair aloft in heavy swell"
Sixty feet above the deck, the boat rolling in ocean swell, fixing a halyard with steady hands. No one else can do it — this is what solo racing demands.
Southern Storm
"Surviving the Southern Ocean"
40-knot winds, breaking crests, icebergs on radar. You clip on, hold on, and drive through — because there's no harbour to run to down here.
Doldrums
"Becalmed in the tropics"
Glassy water, burning sun, and not a breath of wind. The sails hang limp while you nurse every tenth of a knot — patience is as crucial as courage.
Ocean Wildlife
"Albatross, dolphins, and whales"
A wandering albatross banks alongside, a pod of dolphins surfs the bow wave, and a humpback breaches to starboard. The ocean is never truly empty.
Below Deck
"Cabin life between watches"
Damp foulies, freeze-dried meals, a chart plotter glowing in the dark. The 20-minute catnap that has to count, then back on deck to keep her moving.
Night Sail
"Alone under the stars"
The Milky Way blazes overhead, bioluminescence trails from the keel, and you're the only human for a thousand miles. A profound, humbling silence.
Cape Horn
"Rounding the great cape"
The jagged black rock emerges from the cloud, waves stacking up from three oceans. You log the waypoint and feel something shift deep inside — you're one of the few.
Homecoming
"Crossing the finish line"
The harbour is packed, horns blaring, confetti falling. You've circled the globe alone. The dock feels strange underfoot, but the smile never leaves your face.

Real stories, real tears
(Happy tears, we promise)
"She watched it three times in a row, crying the whole time. Then she called her sister to watch it together. I've never seen my grandmother that emotional."
Best $49 I've ever spent.
"We played it at Dad's 70th. The whole room went silent. Then my dad started crying. Then my mom. Then all of us."
Nobody expected a gift to do that.
"My mom can barely use her phone, but when she saw those old photos moving, she understood immediately."
She's watched it 20+ times now.
