2023 ALLIANZ SAILING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
THE BRIEF
Sunset+Vine won a competitive tender to provide production, distribution and news services as the international governing body World Sailing’s media partner for the 2023 Allianz Sailing World Championships in The Hague. The worlds are a four-yearly combined World Championships of all 10 Olympic classes with around 1,000 boats racing across two venues and around 50sqkm of field of play. It’s the fourth consecutive occasion that Sunset+Vine has won the contract.
THE HOW
Sunset+Vine assembled a large multinational team and a sophisticated technical solution to deliver live World Feed programming of the Medal Race/Finals series. The coverage was scoped to cover up to eight race courses across a 50sqkm field of play on the Ocean Course and two courses at the Para venue using RF and bonded cellular signal transmission. Coverage included two drones, a heli with gimbal, live on boards and an innovative ‘Attack RIB’ delivering ‘straight to social’ live coverage from a three-camera unit with reporter out on the race track.
Sunset+Vine’s Media Partnerships department negotiated live and highlights rights with 63 broadcasters including the Olympic rights holder Eurosport while the ‘news engine’ delivered daily global news coverage in 175 territories and 20 languages.
THE RESULT
Sunset+Vine’s overall delivery increased live coverage by 75% and highlights by 36% with a total of 15,000 hours of broadcast. The coverage was presented by an international cast from the UK, Australia, China and the USA and was World Sailing’s most successful World Championships to date.
