The six-part television series which follows the Clipper 09-10 Round the World Yacht Race has moved to a higher profile, mid-week slot a couple of weeks later than provisionally scheduled.
Against the Tide will now air on QUEST in the UK on Wednesday evenings beginning on Wednesday 2 March at 9pm.
You can find QUEST on Freeview channel 38, Sky channel 154, BT Vision channel 38, Virgin Media channel 179 and QUEST +1 (one hour later) is on Sky channel 167.
The series follows the crew members as they take on the extraordinary challenge of racing around the world. The six-part documentary captures a man overboard in the South Atlantic, boat collisions, dismastings and a terrifying roll in the remote North Pacific during hurricane conditions.
More than 40 per cent of the crew for the Clipper 09-10 Race had never set foot on a yacht before their initial training and the series closely follows their journey around the world during their ten-month challenge of a lifetime.
QUEST is Discovery’s free-to-air channel in the UK and the group will be showing it around the world on other stations in the network. Please keep an eye on the race website and Facebook pages for updates on transmission times in other territories.
Discovery Network is just one of the broadcasters showing the series around the world and we will release more information on the others in due course.
DVD copies of the series will also be available for purchase, details for which will be published soon.
The next edition of Clipper Race begins this August and the TV series will further whet the appetite of the Clipper 11-12 crew and potential recruits for Clipper 13-14 and beyond, as well as allow crew members from Clipper 09-10 to reminisce on their amazing achievement.
