en Altadefinizione. Donald Crowhurst disappeared at sea on the 1st of July, 1969. His boat Teignmouth Electron was found abandoned ten days later by the Royal Mail Vessel Picardy on its way to the Caribbean. He had been one of nine competitors who set out in the first single-handed non-stop around the world yacht race, announced the previous year by the Sunday Times. Crowhurst’s story was a media sensation at the time and has been quite well documented ever since. There has been at least one book, one novel, two feature films with another in production, two television documentaries, several radio programmes and endless newspaper articles.
