Wind

1992 · 126 min

A sunlit, old-fashioned sports drama of salt spray and sailcloth, more stirring than thrilling, with a gentle romantic current underneath.

Tagline
The only thing better than winning the America's Cup is losing it... and winning it back.
Overview
In 1983, yacht sailor Will Parker leads an American crew financed by millionaire Morgan Weld to defeat during the America's Cup race against an Australian crew. Determined to get the prize back, Will convinces Morgan to finance an experimental boat designed by his ex-girlfriend Kate's new beau, Joe Heisler. When the boat is completed, the Americans head to Australia to reclaim the cup.
