Senior Staff Writer Alex Smith

Alex Smith is an experienced journalist, copywriter and magazine editor with a long history in boating and a happy addiction to the water.

He has worked on boats, lived on boats, bought boats, sold boats and – when he’s not actually on board a boat – he can generally be found in his Folkestone home office, tapping away at his computer and gazing out to sea.

Digital Editor Toby Heppell

Toby was born to a dinghy racing family and was surrounded by sailing more-or-less from birth. He received his first boat – a bright red Optimist dinghy – for his fourth birthday and has been out on the water as often as possible from then on. He has won World and National titles and captained his University sailing team. It was during his time at university he discovered keelboat racing and continues to sail big and small boats to this day.

After leaving university in 2005 he got a job writing for an online sailing publication and has continued writing for both cruising and racing publications ever since, covering two Olympic Games and other events across the globe.

Art Editor Neil Singleton

From a very early age Neil could be found riding pillion with his grandad up and down the Trent waterways aboard his motorboat. This came to an end when the boat sadly had to be put up for sale, but in doing so, Neil did get to meet local Nottingham Forest football hero Justin Fashanu as the potential purchaser of the boat. Since then Neil keeps himself busy fuelling petrol headed passions of his own.

The International Yachting Media lands on YouTube with a great new channel

The International Yachting Media has launched a new YouTube channel offering free access to sea trials of the most beautiful yachts, auteur docufilms and all the in-depth information on the world of yachting.

The community of owners and enthusiasts will thus be able to access the entire selection of top quality videos produced by the multilingual publishing house founded by Luca d’Ambrosio , who commented on the opening of the new channel with great enthusiasm: “ We have decided to open a YouTube channel to offer readers an additional opportunity to reach us. Our Vimeo channel is going very well but, in order to meet the demands of our many readers, we decided to add a second video channel”.

Yes, because The International Yachting Media offers an unrivalled range of content and quality. 4K videos, spectacular footage from the coast or from the open sea while sailing. This is also achieved through the use of drones.

And then there are the expert comments, the amazing cruises in the Mediterranean. The design, architecture and luxurious interiors to discover. Lots of how-to material and useful advice on sailing and motor yachts. Accessories and everything that revolves around yachting, including lifestyle, shipyards and international expos.

As well as on the new YouTube channel, The International Yachting Media’s videos are also available in the dedicated section of our English-speaking yachting news website at this link.

Using the icon on the YouTube app it will also be easy to broadcast our videos on all the ultra screens at home and thus enter the cinematographic dimension offered with wisdom by The International Yachting Media.

Our new channel on the YouTube platform exists in tandem with that of Vimeo , the platform that The International Yachting Media has been using for some time now.

On the official YouTube channel boat and yacht owners from over 200 countries around the world will find the inexhaustible source of information that The International Yachting Media offers in five different languages: Italian, English, French, Russian and Spanish.

The invitation we would like to extend to everyone is to like and subscribe to The International Yachting Media’s YouTube channel at this link, to keep up to date with the latest news.
