The World Sailing Show is back with global TV, social and digital distribution

World Sailing is excited to announce the re-launch of the World Sailing Show. Premiering on 30 May 2022, each 30-minute episode will feature news, profiles and racing highlights from across the world of sailing.

Produced by Sunset+Vine, shows will be released every month on the World Sailing Show YouTube Channel and distributed via a network of international broadcasters on every continent. The first eight episodes, airing through to December 2022, will keep audiences around the world up to date on the latest news across the sport, including world and continental championships, global events, Olympic qualifiers, Para Sailing, community activities, grass roots sailing, and much more.

The first episode of the relaunched series focuses on the Hempel World Cup Series at Trofeo Princesa Sofía, the SailGP Grand Final of season 2, with a season 3 kick off, the World Match Race Tour Congressional Cup and a Para Sailing update on the bid to get the sport back in the Paralympic Games for LA28. There’s also a feature on the foiling revolution in the Olympic classes, America’s Cup news, an update on Emirates Team New Zealand’s wind-powered land speed record attempt, and offshore sailing from the Caribbean 600 and the 1000 Miles des Sables.

Future episodes will see high profile coverage given to World Sailing’s Special Events – the sport’s flagship events including the America’s Cup, The Ocean Race, SailGP, the PWA World Windsurfing Tour, the World Match Racing Tour, the GKA Kite World Tour, the Star Sailors League and Foiling Week – as well the global efforts being made to grow the sport worldwide, making it more inclusive and more sustainable.

David Graham, World Sailing CEO, said, “We are delighted to re-launch the incredibly popular and much-loved World Sailing Show. It will be the definitive digital home for sailing, bring the community together and provide a platform for event organisers, personalities and role models, while also expanding the reach and access to our sport to viewers in global markets.

“We are very proud to partner with Sunset+Vine to produce the first slate of eight episodes and work together on future seasons. There are so many aspects of sailing that deserve the spotlight and the World Sailing Show will give us new avenues to share the success of our Para Sailing initiatives, women’s sailing programmes, community projects and sustainability campaigns to a wider audience.”

Originally broadcast from 2016 to April 2020, the World Sailing Show captivated audiences worldwide with its unrivalled coverage and analysis of the global sailing scene. The programme racked up a combined television viewership of 27.6m during a 12-episode season and total views in excess of 9m on the official YouTube channel over four years.
