Carey-Ann Pawsey Orca Sound Sailing is not a sport that many people participate in or watch so the nuances might be a little trickier. Still the underdog aspect of the story we can all grasp on to. Rated: 3/5 Sep 17, 2022 Full Review Sabrina McFarland Common Sense Media Docu about historic sea competition has some language. Rated: 4/5 Sep 17, 2022 Full Review Scott Hines Decider Even if you don't know the first thing about yacht racing, Race of the Century is a fascinating story with a thrilling competition at its core.

M B Absolutely the best and most suspenseful documentary I have ever seen! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/25 Full Review Cameron H Best Doco I've ever seen! A must watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/30/23 Full Review dan r The final episode of series 2 of the Untold franchise is 'Untold: The Race of the Century'. And what a finale it is. SYNOPSIS: 'The Australia II yacht crew looks back on the motivation, dedication and innovation that led to their historic victory against New York Yacht Club's Liberty at the 1983 America's Cup.' Even if, like me, you don't know anything about sailing, yachts or anything sea related this documentary is truly fascinating. It's a thrilling story of competition, rivalry and underhand tactics. Oh and the small matter of the Australian team breaking the longest running win streak in sporting history: 132 years! I was really enthralled! 07/10 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Emma R A great David and Goliath tale. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/29/22 Full Review Read all reviews
