Send us a text“Shooting the Breeze” feels like the perfect title for this one! Jess & Hannah chat with special guests, Rose Ravetz and Huw Wahl - the creators of Wind, Tide and Oar: an analogue 16mm film exploring life under sail—without an engine.We learn all about the trials of filming at sea with a 1960's hand wound camera and tribulations of a life unburdened by diesel. So join us as we Shoot the Breeze and dive head first into the story behind Wind, Tide and Oar!Wind, Tide & Oar is a compelling exploration of engineless sailing, shot on analogue film over three years. The film delves into the experiences of those who travel solely by harnessing the natural elements alone, following a diverse array of traditional boats and uncovering the unique rhythms and motivations of engineless navigation.Through the film's reveries, sailing becomes a means to explore our interaction with and responsibility to the environment. It invites deep reflection on our relationship with nature, our understanding of and commitment to sustainability, and our care for the world around us.WIND, TIDE & OAR - in UK Cinemas from 25th April 2025Guests:Rose RavetzHuw WahlShips:Defiance (Built circa 1975)Guide Me (Built 1911)Blue Mermaid (Built 2019)Birubi (Built 1967)Tres Hombres (Built 1943)De TukkerEcoClipperWind, Tide & Oar Links:Official Trailer:https://www.thenewmenardpress.com/wind-tide-and-oarWebsite:www.windtideandoar.comScreening Schedule: https://tullstories.co.uk/films/wind-tide-oar-in-cinemas-spring-2025/The Book: https://www.thenewmenardpress.com/wind-tide-and-oarFilm Review: https://www.pbo.co.uk/specials/wind-tide-oar-an-evocative-exploration-of-engineless-sailing-87764Support the Show:If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to follow us on Facebook/Instagram/Youtube: @offwatchpod.You can also support us by buying us a slice of pizza here.Episode artwork: We'd like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Huw, Rose and Tull Stories for providing images and videos for this episode.Support the showListen to two passionate traditional sailors talk about the subject they love and have a laugh at the same time!Follow us on Facebook/Instagram/Youtube: @offwatchpodSign up to our newsletter on our website Want to support the show?
