The Family That Dared (1977)

The Family that Dared is the story of the Campe Family who sold everything they owned, built a boat and set off on an adventure none of them would forget. This might sound all too common but the family did it in 1977!

This is the first of 13 episodes that Joachim Campe filmed (all available on Youtube). They were all shot on 16mm film and have not been seen since airing on German TV in 1984.

Joachim, now 83 is very close to finishing another Circumnavigation aboard St Michel, the very same boat that the family sailed on four decades ago. His health has let him down and he is currently recuperating in Lombok, Indonesia and could use your support to get him sailing again.
