Wind, Tide & Oar

Cinema | (PG) | 84 minutes |
Coming Soon

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. Journeying through rivers, coastlines, and open seas, spanning the UK, the Netherlands, and France, Wind, Tide & Oar creates a contemplative space, addressing themes of ecology, heritage, traditional skills, and maritime history. Using a 1960s hand-wound camera, Wahl offers a poetic and intimate perspective on a millennia-old craft, upended by the invention of mechanised power.

Wind, Tide & Oar is the first documentary film to explore the art of engineless sailing. Earlier in 2024 it received its premiere at Royal Museums Greenwich and had a unique preview tour around the Southeast coast: on the iconic Thames sailing barge Blue Mermaid, crewed by young sail trainees. It is created alongside an accompanying book of the same name, published by The New Menard Press.
