Focus Years: 2010 | Country: Austria
Synopsis:
In 2009, three windsurfers and a camera crew started out to sail around the infamous Cape Horn. They wanted to capture the myth of the Cape Horn and gain a better understanding of the “old day†sailors and buccaneers, who surrounded the most southern tip of South America without engines or any kind of modern navigation systems. The myth of the Cape Horn and the knowledge that more than 10,000 seamen lost their lives here makes this adventure a thrilling challenge. Starting from the Pacific coast in Chile, southbound to the Patagonian lakes and eventually arriving at the end of the world in “Tierra del Fuegoâ€. The story is told by an experienced fisherman from Punta Arenas, Chile. Juan Bautista Gutierrez is crossing the channels of Tierra del Fuego after many years with his typical Chilean wooden fishing boat, and he knows the currents, winds and all stories and legends like nobody else. He circumnavigated around the Cape several times and meets three windsurfers from Europe in his favorite local bar in Puerto Williams. While experiencing a typical crab fishing day together with Juan, the guys learn a lot from his stories and advice about the Cape. Finally, Tine Slabe from Slovenia, Ben Vandersteen from Holland and Thomas Miklautsch from Austria try to windsurf around the Cape Horn in extremely stormy conditions with huge waves and freezing winds gusting up to 70 knots. Are they going to make it, or will they be beaten by the notorious Cape once again, that is responsible for so many victims already?
