Larry Pardey, Mike Anderson.

From the stormy seas of Cape Horn to the wilds of the Sahara Desert, few modern sailors have seen more adventures nor inspired more dreams than Larry Pardey. Sailing more than 200,000 miles and circumnavigating both east-about and west-about in engine-free boats he built himself, co-authoring twelve books and creating five videos, Larry has been called "the man who launched 50,000 dreams." The Real Deal is an intimate profile created by Mike Anderson, video producer and boat builder and a longtime friend of Larry Pardey. The crux of the tale is the Pardey's voyage to and around Cape Horn, the so-called "Mt. Everest of Sailing." Along with at-sea footage, interviews with a variety of friends and associates, and archival film clips and photographs, the story is narrated via quotes from sailing writer Herb McCormick's critically acclaimed biography of the couple, As Long as It's Fun.
