Webinars

The Offwatch Labs webinar series brings together sailors from winning offshore campaigns and specialists from across the world of racing yachts. Some sessions go deep into successful races, with navigators and crew breaking down their preparation, decisions, and execution. Others focus on specific areas of expertise, from design and performance to systems, sails, and onboard workflows.

All webinars are built around practical experience and real-world application. No generic theory, no polished marketing stories. Subscribe to stay informed about upcoming live webinars, or explore recordings from past sessions.
