Sunset+Vine and World Sailing have partnered to recreate The World Sailing Show.

The show last aired in April 2020, after running since February 2016, with it one of many productions to be hit by the pandemic. As the official global TV and digital series of governing body World Sailing, content in the new series will include the Olympics, America’s Cup, SailGP, The Ocean Race, World Match Race Tour, Vendée Globe and 52 Super Series as well as the best of inshore, offshore, grand prix, match racing and global records.

Sunset+Vine has agreed a two-and-a-half year contract to produce a monthly 26-minute series from May 2022 until December 2024 - the end of the current Olympic cycle. In addition, the show will be distributed by Sunset+Vine’s Media Partnerships division with a target of 60+ global broadcasters and digital channels.

The series will also be published on the World Sailing YouTube channel and will be amplified by a strong social campaign right across World Sailing’s social channels where bespoke content, clips and stories will be published in all social formats.
