If you are into sailing, this movie can't be beat. Wind, and Monty Python's Holy Grail oddly enough, is one of those staples of the sailing community and you will find a copy of it in the collection of every yacht club in the US. Unfortunately, other than sailing and some amazing "how did they do that" boat shots this movie has absolutely nothing to offer. The plot is about as formulaic as they come but if you go into it with low expectations you will enjoy yourself especially if you're the type who thought Waterworld was a good movie. If nothing else, Wind at least contributed a new word to the sailor's vernacular. You won't find a foredeck man alive who doesn't know what a whomper is!
