Sailing Energy

Sailing Energy is one of the reference agencies in sailing photography and audiovisual production. Its work runs from the Olympic Games, the America's Cup and The Ocean Race to international circuit events and shoots for shipyards and owners, and it holds one of the most complete Olympic sailing image archives in the world.

Video Synthesis produces video for several of the agency's projects: the Sailing Energy Series, the Stella Maris racing campaign and the Peninsula Racing team.

The Sailing Energy Series is the agency's own nations competition: thirteen countries, races of around ten minutes, a reaching start and a cash prize hanging from the committee boat that the winner grabs as they cross the line. The format is built so that a race can be followed without anyone explaining it — including by people who don't usually watch sailing.

Our work on the series runs from race coverage to highlight edits, individual clips for each sailor, interviews and the pieces published between editions. All of it on tight timelines: reactions go out within the first hour and the race recap before sunset.
