Sample KeepTurningLeft Films

 

Here are three great films for you to enjoy. They incude IMHO the best freshwater  sail in Britain – Barton Broad to Hickling.  There is a film about the  North Norfolk Sharpies. They are a slice of sailng history - designed in Germany in 1931 and used as the Olympic boat in the 1958. They can sail in just a few inches of water.  Then there is a film about the massive sand bar at the entrance of the harbour at Wells-Next-the-sea .
all films available in large HD format

 

  

 

 

 

 DVDs now available including KTL 3

KTL 3 The Alde, Blyth and the Broads

The toughest winter months were spent on the Alde and at Iken Cliff. The it was out into the North sea for the journey around to Southwold – which is easily the poshest town of the trip so far. The year ended on the Norfolk Broads which offer many miles of tranquil inland sailing where the tide runs but the the water level does not change. I spent a day filming the Three Rivers Race and spent some time sailing with the gentlemen of the Lady Yacht Club. £15 or $25 – dylan.winter@virgin.net

My name is Dylan Winter – professional cameraman, jobbing hack and keen sailor. Over the past four years I have been sailing my 18 footer around the UK’s astonishing 20,000 mile long coastline. I film the wonderful things I see along the way and dig a bit into the history, geography and natural environment of this wonderful island.  Four years of travelling and with 250 films in the archive and I have completed the section from the Isle of Wight to the Humber. All the films are available in the small windows available on this page – but if you really like sailing then you can gain access to the films in a full screen format for a paltry $4.99 for three months.

The films are also available on DVD.

Enjoy the small versions with my love….but if you want to see the films full size and contribute to the costs of this project then please subscribe to the website. The more the project earns the more resources I can throw at making the films.

Here are a few of the treats here at KeepTurningLeft – one susbcriber told me that my films were the next best thing to sailing

  

 

 

 

The Three Rivers Race – 100 magnificent wooden boats

 

 

 

One mans slow odyssey around the UK. 48  months of sailing has resulted in travelling from the Isle of Wight to Wells in North Norfolk – so I am aiming for one of the slowest circumnavigations in UK history.

KeepTurningLeft is a journey up every navigable river worth visiting along Britain’s rediculously crinkly 20,000 mile coastline. It is Britain as it has never been filmed before – from the tiny cockpit of an 18 foot long 50 year old Mirror Offshore – one of the toughest  small production yachts ever made.

 

 

 

What KTL subscribers have said about the films

 

Dylan,You continue to provide the best entertainment on the intertubes.Thank you.Al

As so many times before, your film have brightened my day.

Your films always take me away from reality, just as when  I get away on my own little craft and leave all that crap behind. But, on nights like tonight, when I can’t slip the docklines, watching one of your films transports me to that place, at least for a little while.

Thanks Buddy!!!

My husband found your show and we both watch it avidly, prior to subscribing and after.  We are really enjoying seeing Great Britain through your eyes and travels.  Thanks for doing these.

thanks to you Dylan for your lovely inspiring films.  They give me a lot of pleasure to watch and make me very envious of what you have achieved and how tolerant your wife must be! Richard

 

 

 

 

 

The seal was a real star for me. A perfect solo act. He seemed to be looking to you for treat, whist treating us all to his skills. The birds were truly amazing to watch,aviation at its best.

All provided for us to watch by your camera skills ,during your solo journey bringing you ever closer to nature, seen from a new prospective adventure. Alan

Someday I’m going to come to England and try it myself !

Another great relief to help us get through the cold and winter here. Thanks for all you do !!!!

A really enjoyable film – you have the best boat for the job.

Nice video Dylan. A sentimental trip for me, heading for the Pye End Buoy,

Great film Dylan. The great outdoors whilst stuck in my study.

I love seeing all those boats along the way, all shapes and sizes but they are all intersting!

Excellent! Sound of ice sheets nudging past the hull of the slug with the rising tide! Fantastic! Winter sailing looks beautiful, but cold. I see how you keep warm, but how do you keep from giving yourself carbon monoxide poisoning? Also, do you manage to get any sleep in conditions like these? I know southeast England is mild in winter, but how bad can it get as far as cold and ice and snow are concerned? –Ray Keyport, New Jersey

I must tell you that I really like the films, it´s very nice to see parts of Britain that I never have seen before, and therefore I have a qestion: Do you really have such a big lot of interesting boats over there or are you very selective in taking your shots? Here in sweden the sailing is more and more dominated by the big international firms (I cannot call them yards anymore)

Lovely film; we watched it with a glass of wine in our hands, snuggled up to the wood burning stove aboard ‘Op Hoop van Zegen’ – http://www.sadlerbootwerk.nl/page13/page13.html – as temperatures dropped below freezing an the water in the canal turned to ice around us.

 

 

Sometimes it’s good to relax and just enjoy the sights and music you’ve selected.

I think it’s one of your best.
