This video shows 8 months of work in 25 minutes on the legendary racing boat known as Duracell. Duracell was built by legendary American sailor, Mike Plant, who beat the American record for solo circumnavigation in the first Vendee Globe in 1989. I am lucky to own this piece of American racing history.
