Welcome to TheSailingChannel
Video Download Store

We offer engaging sailing videos about the cruising lifestyle produced by Sailor/Producers who have a knack for storytelling, an eye for imagery, and the ability to teach the sailing skills they have mastered while voyaging thousands of ocean miles. You can view a free video preview of each program.

Our digital video files are designed to play on your PC or MAC computer, either in a window or full screen. You can also watch them on your large screen TV if it supports a computer input. However, these files WILL NOT PLAY in a standard DVD player. If you prefer to watch videos on your TV using a DVD player, please purchase the DVD version that we offer. You can also find a complete list of our sailing DVDs at our Ship's Store

Our Video Downloads are Green and are about half the price of a DVD with no additional shipping and handling charges. However, the average Video Download is 1GB. Visit our Download Test Page to estimate download time based on your Internet connection speed. If you have dial-up or DSL, it's too slow. We recommend you purchase the DVD version instead. We provide a DVD Add to Cart button for most titles. You can also Rent our sailing docs on YouTube

NOTE: File download programs will NOT work with our system, so please do not use them. Download files using your web browser's "Save To" function. And please download only one file at a time. We recommend the Google Chrome web browser, which keeps you informed of download progress and gives you access to your download files in its bottom browser bar.

After your purchase, we will email you a URL where you can log in and download your video. Your login will remain available for four days and you can download a video file up to three times. We've made both Windows Media (wmv) and QuickTime (mov and/or mp4) files available. Download the version you prefer. If in the future, you lose a file, just email support and we will replace it.

Our Sailor/Producers have worked hard to create these videos. Income they receive contributes to their cruising kitty, which enables them to make more videos. We ask you to honor their work by purchasing your own copy and asking your friends to do the same.

Please visit our main Ship's Store for a complete list of our videos, books, music, and gear.
