I highly recommend “The Weekend Sailor” .  It is available on Amazon Prime 
videos for free.

The Weekend Sailor is an award winning documentary about the unexpected victory 
of a Mexican yacht in the first crewed sailing race around the world in 1974.  
This was the first edition of the race now known as the Volvo Ocean Race.  The 
English Newspapers made fun of them before the start as a bunch of Sombrero 
wearing, Tequila drinking foolish sailors (See the newspaper cartoon depiction 
linked below).    This is a wonderful movie of an underdog team which end up 
defining the meaning of true grit. 

Here is the trailer on YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtYQbR5nWeU
