En solitaire - must see if you're an offshore sailor

A tad different from all is lost. It looks a bit more realistic since it was shot entirely on a boat. The boat was taken to the Indian Ocean to make these shots more realistic...and to Cape Horn.


The young actor really got seasick, so these scenes were not fake

They really did sea a whale and dolphins, they used these for shots



Southern ocean shot. In reality there were 18 people on the boat for two months to do all the on-boat shooting. The boat had to be moved so it wasn't just two months in a row.



The actors and the crew got really wet with tons of water rolling into their face


As they were on the boat for days on end, they had to take shifts, they also slept very little


There were 6 sailors on the boat - one pro open 60 skipper. They sailed the boat and were consultant so that every sailing move look realistic (that is except the constant override...)


The broaching was a real (controlled) broaching


 The skipper reviews the video equipment installed on the boat
