An intimate profile of Larry Pardey

Previously unseen video footage of trailblazing yachtsman Larry Pardey and his voyage with wife Lin to and around Cape Horn has been released.

Lin Pardey assisted Mike Anderson of Sailflix, to create the documentary titled The Real Deal - Larry Pardey, Legendary Sailor and Adventurer. Sailing more than 200,000 miles and circumnavigating both east-about and west-about in engine-free boats he built himself, co-authoring 12 books and creating five videos, Larry has been called ‘the man who launched 50,000 dreams.’

Mike Anderson, video producer, boatbuilder and a long-time friend of Larry, focuses on the Pardeys’ voyage to and around.
