Synopsis
Ingénieur électronicien spécialisé dans l'équipement maritime, Julien Dantec apprend qu'un grand quotidien organise une course de navigateurs en solitaire, autour du monde et sans escale. Il propose à Janvier, grand favori de la course, d'équiper son bateau d'une de ses inventions - un correcteur de cap. Mais Janvier refuse, et Dantec, très déçu, décide de relever lui-même le défi : il participera à cette compétition. Pour trouver le financement et construire son bateau, Dantec est aidé par un certain Barral, journaliste qui lui propose d'être son agent à terre et d'organiser l'aspect « relations publiques » de cette vaste entreprise. Dantec, cependant, prend un mauvais départ, son embarcation posant des problèmes jusqu'à la dernière minute.Actors
