Windblown Film To Highlight Newport Race
An exclusive sneak peek of “Windblown,” a new documentary series chronicling the iconic Newport Bermuda Race, will be previewed this evening at the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club during a private VIP screening event.
A spokesperson said, “Bringing together invited guests from Bermuda’s business, cultural, and maritime communities, the evening will feature a first look at the series, followed by a Q&A discussion with members of the production team.
“Windblown offers a cinematic and immersive portrayal of the 636-mile offshore race from Newport, Rhode Island to Bermuda — widely regarded as one of the most demanding ocean races in the world. The series captures the intersection of history, science, and human endurance, placing viewers directly into the high-stakes environment of open-ocean sailing.
“Filmed during the 2024 race, the production team captured nearly 3,000 hours of footage, including unprecedented moments at sea that bring to life the intensity, unpredictability, and beauty of the Atlantic crossing. The series highlights not only the technical and strategic elements of the race, but also the deeply personal stories of the sailors who undertake it. The series is led by U.S.-based Executive Producer Benjamin Ringe, with Caroline Desmarais serving as Co-Executive Producer, Bermuda.
“Positioned for global distribution, Windblown is currently in discussions with major international platforms .The project represents a rare opportunity to showcase Bermuda on a global stage through premium documentary storytelling, offering international audiences a powerful lens into the island’s maritime heritage and natural environment.
“The VIP screening at the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club marks one of the first public previews of the series and forms part of a broader rollout that includes additional screenings in New York and Newport.”
