The News, Culture and Practice of Sailing woodenboats
in Australia, New Zealand & The South Pacific.
Films Afloat
Vigo only made four films. This story, which follows a young couple's life aboard a canal barge, is about love, separation, and reconciliation and the way it’s presented demands that you are in the right frame of mind before settling down to watch it. It’s the antithesis of today’s Tiktok driven world.; slow paced, languid and thoughtful.
A Race Around the Local Cafés
All boats are cultural heritage and kept in great sailing and racing condition, governed by strict class rules that guard the traditional outfit and materials. Since they all have different hull dimensions there is a type of IMS/VPP system determining how much m2 of sail each Skûtsje can have to ensure fair and equal competition.
