Filming with the enemy?

It has been a little while since my fingers were set to work describing what we've been up to. I'd like to blame it on the weather but as it's now a beautiful, sunny and windy day that excuse isn't valid. Although I am jealous thinking about those lucky people sailing during the week.

I suppose I should explain the photo, me filming on a boat without a mast? It's not some new design where the sails appear majestically from beneath a secret compartment, it is actually a motor boat and it's a clue to a few new big developments for the website.

We have been working very hard to update the look of Yachting TV, to make it easier to use and incorporate some of the changes that have been suggested to us. One of the major changes is that we will be allowing you to watch again all of our previous content. So, if you missed the item on reefing, lifejackets or a boat show, you'll be able to watch them again online and of course for free.

Hooray, I hear you all cry, but what's that got to do with the motor boat? We are going to be expanding our horizons to include stories and features on motor as well as sail. The great divide between sail and power has been reducing and quite clearly we all have a lot in common for our love of being on the water. We will still be making all our usual features about sailing but simply adding more content.

We'll obviously be making a big noise about the new website when it's ready, so standby for all of us to broaden our boating horizons...
