YES, that's right, it's Joe here from Joyrider TV with the first ever Joyrider TV newsletter.
In these newsletters I'll keep you informed of everything that I can think that you'd want to know about what's been happening in the world of Joyrider TV. |

For me, this is massive.
After working at Wildwind Sailing Holidays, Vassiliki, Lefkas, Greece now for 28 years.
I've decided that it's time for me to hang up my boots and leave Wildwind.
|
|
|
|
|
I started at Wildwind as a catamaran sailing instructor and Hobie Tiger specialist.
Climbing the ladder quickly I became in charge of catamarans and then after 5 years I reluctantly became the centre manager.
I wasn't too keen to take the role as I had concerns that it would reduce my sailing time. After trying to resist the offer, it became apparent that I was the only choice for the position and had to take it.
Now, many years later, having become, as well as centre manager, bosun, entertainments manager, head of HR and t-shirt designs! There wasn't much time left in the day for hitting the water.
So, I felt that, with the Joyrider TV channel doing reasonably well, it was a good time to quit the job that was taking too much time and energy so that I can focus on what's most important.
Getting out on the water.

To pay the bills, I'm putting more into Joyrider TV.
My intentions are to produce more high quality videos, perhaps, re-making some of the older videos as well as a lot of new ideas.
In the spring, I'm going to start shooting and producing, the Joyrider TV Beginner to Race Course catamaran sailing video course.
This will be a downloadable course with a clear route that beginner cat sailors should take - exploring everything that the beginner would need
|
|
|
|
- boat preparations, assembly and rigging
- launching
- all points of sail
- manoeuvres
- what to do if something goes wrong
- capsize
- getting the boat ashore
- trapezing
- and so much more - right up to participating in their first race.

I'll also be available for private coaching, of course, the easiest and least expensive option is if you were to come to Vassiliki, Greece.
If that's not an option, I can travel to where you are and coach you on your own boat, if you're a beginner, catamaran convert or already racing but not getting the results.
If you would prefer a Zoom call, we can do that.

Instamic: How do I get such clear audio in the videos? Instamic is a very small, waterproof microphone that syncs to your camera or records onto a card. These mics have improved the video quality more than anything. |
