Buddy Melges won Olympic medals and World Championships. But sailing's biggest prize alluded him, The America's Cup. Follow Buddy's extraordinary journey as seen through unprecedented access to over 200 hours of behind-the-scenes archival footage and interviews with the icons of sailing. Featuring world-class sailors such as America’s Cup champion and former ESPN sailing analyst Gary Jobson, three-time champion Dennis Conner, the sailor they call ‘Mr. America’s Cup’; John Bertrand, the Australian skipper who shocked the world by breaking the 132-year U.S. winning streak; and Bill Koch, the billionaire yachtsman who partnered with Buddy to chase the cup in 1992. Competitors and historians explain how Buddy sailed not like an engineer but as an artist. His sailing was less about science – more about artistic expression. His legendary career seems almost mystical and earned him the well-deserved nickname: The Wizard of Zenda.
