A select group of world-class yachtsmen prepare for the
Round-the-World Multihull Race, a test to determine not only the
best go-fast design but also who is the world's greatest skipper.
The challengers have known each other through years of Grand Prix
and Olympic sailing competitions. Ronny Kelly, amiable and clever
Californian, Paoli Venuzzi, who secretly cheated Kelly out of the
gold at the Barcelona Olympics, and the Frenchman Phillippe Matin,
holder of many cross-Atlantic speed records, emerge as the top
contenders. Their efforts are bankrolled by a variety of
international corporations plus a Mafia backed bank. The Mafia
schemes to collect millions in gambling and drug peddling profits
by pressuring their skipper to smuggle cocaine and to arrange
"accidents" during the race. As the race proceeds, the Mafia become
more and more desperate to recoup their gambling losses and their
attempts become much more than "accidents."
