“For Sunset + Vine|APP the chance to tell the story of
two sailors cooped up in a tiny space for such a length of time was a massively
exciting prospect,” says Executive Producer Andrew Preece. “And with the added
dimension that all of them are trying to conquer the global race track against
competitors who have their foot on the gas in the middle of every dark, cold and
dangerous night, this makes the Barcelona World Race something very
new.”
