Wind, Tide & Oar (2025)

Wind, Tide & Oar is a compelling documentary exploring engineless sailing. Shot on a 1960s hand-wound camera, director Huw Wahl offers a poetic and intimate perspective on a millennia-old craft.

The film delves into the experiences of those who travel solely by harnessing the natural elements alone, following a diverse array of traditional boats as they journey through rivers, coastlines, and open seas, spanning the UK, the Netherlands and France.

Through the film’s reveries, sailing becomes a means to explore our interaction with and responsibility to the environment.

It invites deep refection on our relationship with nature, our understanding of and commitment to sustainability, and our care for the world around us.
