Description

Keith Howell interviews British sailor Robin Knox-Johnston and his New Zealand co-skipper, Peter Blake, following the modifications and improvements to their 92 foot catamaran, Enza New Zealand. The boat is moored off the French coast ready for a new attempt to break the fastest non-stop round-the-world record under sail. Their first attempt came to grief when the vessel struck debris in the Southern Ocean and was grounded.
