Whitbread Round the World Race 1989-90 | Official Film 4k

The 1989-90 Whitbread Round the World Race was a true classic, ending in a clean sweep of all six legs by Peter Blake and the crew of Steinlager 2. Behind Blake, Grant Dalton’s Fisher & Paykel NZ and Pierre Fehlmann’s Merit completed the top three, while Tracy Edwards and all-female boat Maiden created one of the race’s most enduring stories.
Maiden won two of six legs in her class, leading to Edwards becoming the first woman to be named Yachtsman of the Year.

The onboard camcorders in 1989, daily website updates in 1997, a RUclips channel in 2008, now the crazy drone videos- The Ocean Race really has always been eager to use new technologies to show us more and more of what happens onboard.

This looks like the edition where things shifted most from amateur enthusiast to sponsored pro sport, not that the challenge was any more or less difficult, but suddenly much better funded.

There was great time for Soviet/Russian yachting possibilities and sponsor resources

Will the 2 hour version also be remastered?

[@TheOceanRace]

Hi Zoe, unfortunately not as the only copy we have of the extended version is very low quality 😞

[@zoepaulastrassfield2664]

@@TheOceanRace Ah well, I’m glad it’s at least preserved to watch at all.
