From the stormy seas of Cape Horn to the wilds of the Sahara Desert, few modern sailors have seen more adventures nor inspired more dreams than Larry Pardey. Sailing more than 200,000 miles and circumnavigating both east-about and west-about in engine-free boats Larry Pardey built himself, co-authoring 12 books and creating 5 videos, Larry Pardey has been called “the Enabler” and “the man who launched 50,000 dreams.”

The Real Deal, is an intimate profile of Larry Pardey created by Mike Anderson, a longtime friend. The crux of the tale is Larry Pardey’s voyage to and around Cape Horn, the so-called “Mt. Everest of Sailing.” Along with at-sea footage, interviews with a variety of friends and associates, and archival film clips and photographs, the story is narrated via quotes from sailing writer Herb McCormick’s critically acclaimed biography of the couple, Lin and Larry Pardey: As Long as It’s Fun.
