The 1992 Grand Regatta Columbus tall ships race covered the final leg from Boston, Massachusetts, to Liverpool — 3,000 miles across the North Atlantic — as part of the 500th anniversary of Columbus's first Atlantic crossing.7:03 Seventy-six vessels competed, ranging from square-rigged windjammers with 170-foot masts to small yachts.2:07 The BBC documentary follows three crews: the British schooner Soren Larsen, crewed by 12 Ocean Youth Club members on their first Atlantic crossing; the Greater Manchester Challenge, a yacht skippered by 24-year-old Paul Bew with inexperienced young sailors; and the Russian training ship Krusenstern, a 300-foot square rigger carrying Baltic State Fishing Fleet Academy cadets.7:55 Two weeks out of Boston, a Force 9 gale snapped the Greater Manchester Challenge's gaff spar; the Soren Larsen's carpenter improvised a replacement from an old plank and ferried it across.15:51 Both boats finished first in their respective classes.21:35 The Soren Larsen also won its class overall.19:42 A noon-to-noon run of 211 miles and a 90-mile nine-hour sprint stood as speed records for the Greater Manchester Challenge crew.22:47 Margaret Holt, 71, sailing aboard the Soren Larsen after nearly a year at sea, completed a lifelong ambition rooted in her father's Cape Horn stories.20:47
