The sad, sad story of Donald Crowhurst, hero wannabee who entered the 1968 round-the-world single-handed sailing race, lost his moral bearings and ended up stepping off the back of his boat when fate decided that he would be the "winner" thereby subjecting his faked logs to a scrutiny they wouldn't survive and subjecting him to national ridicule.
He wanted to be special and so he is...the Rosie Ruiz of sailing lore. He left behind a widow and four small children. Watta shame.
