Most helpful review The Ellen Macarthur Story

    Rated - 3.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    This documentary details Ellen MacArthur's latest challenge, captaining a 14 man team in a trans-atlantic race.

    What really comes through as inspirational is the strength of character this young women has, simply put her brutal determination drives her through some harrowing conditions, in pursuit of her dream to be the world's most successful yachtswoman.

    It's fascinating to watch, even for those who know little about sailing, purely for this reason!

    Loads of action, heavy weather, huge seas and emotion. Shows what a tremendous girl she is, a credit to the UK!!!

    Amazing photography considering where a lot of it was taken.

    This fascinating film adds another dimension to the wonderful achievements of this remarkable woman. Whilst we had the opportunity to witness documentaries on the T.V. this film opens up the whole picture of the determination and skill of Ellen and her team.

    She is one 'ell of a talented yachtswoman! A must for all Ellen fans! To see such courage and determination in someone so young and give such inspiration to others is just fantastic. She is awesome. It gives a good insight of life on board in all weathers and what the solo sailor has to deal with. 11/10
