Let me start by saying I dislike constant flashback movies. Having got that out of the way the story may be true but makes for weak cinema. I found myself looking at my watch a great deal waiting for something gripping to happen. The storm scenes are well done but squint and you can see where the CGI begins and ends (am I the only one that thought Titanic looked like a 2D cardboard cut-out on some scenes???).
Not quite a waste of time for a couple of hours on the same afternoon that England got through the quarter finals of the world cup but I (almost) would rather have watched that and I'm NOT a soccer fan. As I said disappointed. If you want to watch an exciting yacht based movie try Dead Calm - no contest.
