Trivia

The pictures featured at the end of the film are of Donald Crowhurst's actual boat, the Teignmouth Electron. The producers commissioned a photographer to travel to Cayman Brac in the Caribbean to record what remains of the actual trimaran in its final resting place, anonymously rotting away, forgotten, on a strip of rough beach.
