Summary

Pathe synopsis: ...all at sea. So we go to sea, in the new, unsinkable boat built in fibreglass and polystyrene. We see someone pull the stop-cock out and a dozen people try to sink it. And we watch it, at thirty knots, towing a water-ski champion, who goes rip-roaring across the foamiest crests.
