Summary

Pathe synopsis: Pride and determination are being stitched into 2,000 square feet of sail at a master-craftsman’s workshop in Southampton. No weakness can afford to escape experienced eyes for these sails must harness wind into power and power into a first-ever victory in the America’s Cup. This trophy has eluded British yachtsmen for over a century, but now a new challenger, Tony Boyden’s "Sovereign", shows her paces on the angry Solent - to test those sails.
