Sailing On A Shoestring

Erik Svensson, a 70-year-old father and husband, tells the stories of his sailing adventures, describing a life that few could ever dream of. He built a cement boat in South Africa during the height of the Apartheid, and sailed the Atlantic three times, surviving the elements and cheating death.

As his story unfolds, Erik reunites with his former girlfriend, Mandy, and long-time best friend and brief co-sailor, Peter, to provide a more detailed account of his harrowing Atlantic crossings.

The story takes a dramatic turn as Erik, with a sudden stroke of inspiration, ventures off to find the 40-year-old vessel that carried him across the ocean, the CAM'RITA. The outcome of the vessel that provided him with such extraordinary adventures, and a lifetime of stories, remains a mystery until the very end.

Filmed by his youngest daughter, Emilie Svensson, "Sailing On A Shoestring" is a feature length documentary that will lead the audience to question the very essence of what it means to live a meaningful, and fulfilling life.
