One of the best documentaries I've ever watched.

[KimBerry]

The best, THE BEST, doco. My goodness, it encapsulates so much - the era, elite sports, human triumph and loss. Five stars. Would watch again and again.

Ben lexcen. "He had basically no education, so he was not restricted in his thinking" Interesting how such a thing could limit you.

Holy hell!!! ... a yacht race has me in tears... that Australia II TEAM are amazing. 👏 ✌️ 👏 ✌️ 👏 ✌️ are you kidding me... how are Australia's number one actors... which there's a bunch of them... NOT MADE A MOVIE ABOUT THESE GUYS.

[letsdothis]

I'm 💯 % American and I absolutely love my country but I was so proud of Australia for not giving up and they acted like true gentlemen unlike the New York Yankees

[Aussiematee]

I love this series. Best documentary series I’ve seen since the last dance (Michael Jordan documentary)

[trinat]

This is one of the top ones I've watched

[circe...]

Just watched this. Absolutely wonderful! I'm American and was rooting against American. A bunch of cheats and sour losers we are! ugh ... Good on you, Australia! 😊

What a difference it makes when your country has your back!

American's always love the underdog! This would be a great movie too.

[gabevachon]

I was there. The endless summer. When the Aussies weren't sailing or cheering on their mates, they were drinking everyone under the table.

[shauntaylor]

Lmfao. Can't believe how low the NYYC got to try and beat Australia 2.

[colinip]

The AC series that got me into sailing when I followed Victory 83. Had the privilege to meet Connor and Bertrand out in Hong Kong in the mid 90s.

[AliensWanted]

I was there at the finish line when we lost the Cup. Met Dennis afterwards.

[simonhernandez]

You guys should do one about the Davis Cup! Love these series

[Frazzled_Chameleon]

I just generally root for any team that's not the USA. It was nice to see such a comeback, especially when the Americans played dirty and tried to force the Dutch designer to say he'd designed the keel instead of Ben.

[acWeishan]

I will definitely watch this
I have never understood why this race has not been made into a movie.

[alistairmills]

Thank you to everyone involved with Australia II

[kchallenge]

As a French Team we dream of to remake History

[elyserva]

"A little country like Australia!" - Wait! What?🤔
