Roy E. Disney, Conceiver, Producer, Executive Producer about the movie ~ "We're not making a film about sailboat racing and we're not making a film about a boat. It's a story about a group of young adults sailing across an ocean, the obstacles they encounter and the bonds they form. It's a story about becoming more than the sum of the parts."
