A bit more sailing content woud have been better than a song...
by Boudewyn Van Dyck (France)
A bit dissappointed by lack of any real tactics or technical discussions by the crew and schipper, but beautifully filmed...In short a bit "LITE".
5/5
Morning Light is fantastic
by J. McKie
As a sailor working with young people, this is a great way to infect them with a keen desire to go sailing. We need more youth related experiences to draw others to this great way to build confidence, friends for life, and have a great time while building on a great set of standards of the past. Very well done, and I encourage any sailor, young or old, novice or expert, to view it and get ready to sell sailing to others!
5/5
Excellent Sailing Movie/Documentary
by Brian Soliz (North Carolina, USA)
This is a great movie/documentary that goes behind the scenes to show what racing teams go through to prepare for a big race. It's also inspiring to see Roy Disney challenge the racing world to invite and create a team with very little experience compared to the other teams. I had no idea that the majority of the members of a professional racing team are well into their mid thirties to early forties. Roy opened up the door to influence the norm of a standard set in place. These young men and women were presented with a chance of a life time and took it. What an awesome experience.
4/5
These kids are terrific!
by M.A. Bell (Dana Point, CA USA)
What fun to see these college-age kids learn the ropes, so to speak, and do such a good job of racing the Pacific from CA to HI. Even if they didn't win, they are all winners.
5/5
Best Sailing Film I Have Ever Seen
by J. W. Hunt (Alpharetta, GA USA)
This is not only a wonderful story of youthful challenge, it is also a brilliantly filmed sailing story. I have sailed all my life, this film captures the thrill of ocean racing like no movie has before. Thanks to Roy Disney, not only did 15 kids get the opportunity to sail a powerful TP52 for 6 months, but we got to share the experience, the joys and agonies, the fear and the fun with them. Recommended for all ocean sailors and armchair sailors alike.

Morning Light
concerns the 2006 TRANSPAC, an annual, open-ocean race between sailing sloops crossing the Pacific Ocean from California to Hawaii. The film focuses on the team manning the Morning Light, 15 young men and women who undergo intensive training over months and then are left to their own devices racing against sailors far more experienced than themselves.
Morning Light
is divided between a competition section that resembles a broken-hearts-and-all MTV reality show (with a total of 20 people vying for the 15 spots) and the race itself. Neither is particularly fascinating: the former just feels like an extension of television, while the racing action is dominated by technical speak and visuals that will largely appeal to viewers who have spent a lot of time on boats. The rest of us end up sitting through large patches of documentary footage that don't provide a clear understanding of what's going on or what any of it really means to the individuals involved.
Morning Light
did not have to look and move like cable sports channel fodder. The film could have more closely resembled, say, a Warren Miller winter sports documentary, which is almost guaranteed to appeal to non-sportsmen. As it is, a viewer feels like a fifth wheel (or the sailing equivalent).
