Pacific High is a fascinating documentary that dives into the thrilling yet often unpredictable world of yacht racing. Filmed during the 1978 Ensenada Yacht Race, it captures the raw energy and camaraderie of the competitors, all while showcasing the stunning Southern California coastline. The pacing is a bit uneven—there are moments of high tension as boats jostle for position, contrasted with those quieter stretches where the wind dies down, leaving everything still. What stands out is how it captures the essence of the sport, the dedication of the sailors, and the unpredictable nature of the sea. A mix of handheld shots and sweeping drone views gives you a real sense of being there, making it distinctive for any maritime enthusiast or racing aficionado.
