Image of Elaine Bunting In her recent article WHY WE NEED TO REDESIGN SAILING, Independent yachting journalist and DAME Award Jury member, Elaine Bunting, argues that the boating industry should create highly accessible wind-powered craft for a new generation of participants.

While she did not write this article about us, it certainly felt like it! The points she makes are really what we are all about.

  • Sailing, powered by the wind, where you don't require lots of hands-on knowledge and skills
  • Doing six, eight or even 10 knots with no stress, no hassle
  • Ideas based around simplicity of operation

The need for a complete redesign of the sailing brand for people who are not from a traditional background. There's a new generation of younger people coming in that won't demand the traditionally accepted way of doing things to achieve the great experiences and environmentally sound access to water that wind power can provide.
