Beautifully filmed documentary of a west to east transatlantic by three women on a wharram cat.

It costs a fiver or so to rent, but well worth it.
Women on the wind documentary
While it doesn’t hurt that the protagonists are three attractive, strong and adaptable women, the quality of the filming itself is outstanding.
A beautiful & thoughtful little film.

Very much in the spirit of James Wharram, with lots of titilating nude scenes in the trailer (to encourage one to cough up?)

Yup, and plenty more in the film, but ever so much more artistically shot than the teasing tits n ass youtube channels

Why differentiate? If you’re titillated by the titties then it’s the same whether “tastefully” shot or in your face. Porn is porn, if you want to see it then watch it, but don’t get judgy when others make similar choices with similar content.

Having sailed west to east 6 times, I can guarantee they won't have their norks out for long. Within a few days of leaving, you are gonna need loadsa lagging.

Why? Because I feel like it! Why not? Personally I think there is a big difference, why don't you watch the film first? You might even agree with me.

As for judgy, I was not judging the watchers, but the content providers. Anyone who puts work out he public eye can expect it to be judged, for good or ill.
I judge everything I watch, we all do. I’m no prude, and I have ertainly watched some you tube clips because a raunchy thumbnail has caught my eye….invariably I end up scrolling through the episode and then ditching it after a min or two. Not because I disapprove pf women in bikinis, topless or naked, I love female bodies! But because the content bored the tits off me. (If I want real titillation I just watch porn, like everyone else.)
Whereas I watched every single episode produced from the likes of Tupia (sp?) or yacht teleport, or On Kudo…because the content fascinated me. You will have done the same I imagine, but the channels that fascinated you and bored you will probably differ.

Back to the women on the wind film, the nudity is no doubt being heavily used to help sell the film, and good for them. The film is not about naked women, its just about 3 women crossing the atlantic, with a wee bit of greenwashing added to help fund/justify it.
My sole reason for recommending it is the beauty and skill of the filming, it’s on another level to what we usually see. And I for one really appreciated it. She even managed to make the waves look huge! Something notoriously difficult for us all to do from the deck.

To be honest, its sounds like you are the one being judgy, porn is porn? Sure…but it doesn’t follow that anything showing bare flesh is porn, which is what you seem to be implying.

I don’t have a problem with any women using their assets to sell their story on YouTube, hence I thought your dig was a little unnecessary since you did seem to like the boobs in this one. Even “tastefully” shot, they are still doing the same thing, as demonstrated by the nudity being central to the early part of the thread.

I like naked ladies.....

I remember the good old days when porn films weren’t ruined by lots of tedious sailing scenes.

Ah no, not in the slightest. When I read capn sensible quoting me, I realised it does look like I was slagging tits and bikini’s. My bad, I should have phrased it better so it was about the clickbait type thumbnails, not the girls themselves.
I hate clickbait that leads me to wasting my time But then I hate newsquest websites, clickbait that takes you to paywalls, shitey AI generated “content” articles masquerading as news, ads on tv or streaming services ( I mute them and have still been known to give the screen the finger) and radio dj’s with their inane chatter & shoutouts getting in the way of the music.
Basically I’m a grumpy fecker

 

[lustyd]

I agree with that, if I’m promised something in the thumbnail it had better be in the video

 

[Buck Turgidson]

I like naked ladies.....

I would add a strong caveat to that statement having seen enough evidence to the contrary

 

[Ruffles]

Some years back she broke a boom in the Pacific.
This would have most of us looking for a rigger.
Not a bit of it. She chops a branch off a tree and carries on for another thousand miles.
Bloody H**l!
Fair play.

Here's a video by one of the ladies, Kiana Weltzien, the owner of the Wharram, of her east to west crossing a few years earlier. For me it's one of the most chilled out sailing videos on YouTube.

Kiana got into the Wharram life after sailing for a couple of years on Hans Klaar's 75-foot Polynesian-style double hulled canoe "Ontong Java", which makes a Wharram look modern. So Google "Ontong Java" if you want to kill some time watching interesting videos.
