Who we are

There’s a world of difference between capturing the sea and truly understanding it. The light at 3 a.m. during a night watch. The way a boat feels when it’s fully powered up — flirting with the edge of control. The sound it makes when everything is perfectly trimmed.

You either know these things, or you don’t. And when you don’t, it shows in the shots.

We’ve been on the water for some of the biggest races on the planet: the Vendée Globe, The Ocean Race & the America’s Cup — not as spectators, but as storytellers and image-makers who also happen to be sailors. A slightly dangerous combination — for our calendars, our sleep patterns and, occasionally, our bank accounts.

What we do

we are called backstay for a reason: we stick around when the wind picks up!
