As the builder of the Transpac 52 Morning Light (formerly Pegasus), Goetz Custom Boats has taken great interest in the ongoing training of the youngest crew ever to sail Transpac. This group of talented young men and women are currently in Hawaii preparing for the 44th Transpacific Yacht Race, which will begin in July.

In a recent conversation with Eric Goetz, Charlie Enright, who is a 22-year old Rhode Island native and sailing coach at Brown University, as well as a member of the Morning Light team, said, “I had a chance to drive the boat down the north side of Molokai in 30+ knots of breeze and 10-foot seas. The boat performed like a champion; impressive stuff, lots of fun. Just wanted to thank you for the beautiful ride.”

Morning Light, a real-life adventure feature film recorded as it happens, whatever happens, will be part of next year's 44th Transpacific Yacht Race to Hawaii in a project led by race veteran Roy E. Disney. Based on the premise of "the youngest crew ever to sail Transpac," the film will chronicle the recruitment, training and performance of sailors as young as 18 through the next race in July of 2007. On their own, they will sail a Transpac 52 called Morning Light---the working title of the film. None will be actors. There will be no script and no preconceived outcome. Disney said, "If we do our job right, I don't care as much whether they win or lose as how they come together as a group and wind up a team in the end. However they do is how they do. But we're giving them the equipment to win."

The film is being shot in high definition from the air, on the water, and onboard the boat and will be distributed by the Walt Disney Company as a theatrical release in 2008. The filmmakers hope to communicate the many lessons about competition, teamwork, and what the sea teaches us all about patience, perseverance, and luck.
