On Into The Wind sailors take the time to reflect in depth on their career, recent and past and look to their future. They talk frankly and openly about what makes them tick, about their life and their highs and lows.
Tip & Shaft sets out to explore their courses, to understand what defines the sailors who take to the water to compete whether it is for a few hours or months at a time, solo or fully crewed, in a bay or around the world.
Sailors are often people of few words. Tip & Shaft seeks to give them the time and the opportunity to talk, so that we can share their adventures and experiences.
