“Supporting the Bird’s Eye View podcast was a no-brainer. Sailing is a passion for so many Kiwis and for Winning Group CEO and andoo founder John Winning, who, along with his family, has strong relationships within the sport as participants and supporters. Partnering with the podcast is a great way to inspire young sailors and keep the sport alive. Barbara (Kendall) and Joey (Allen) are my idols and will provide good laughs with their in-depth knowledge of our sport we all love. It also gives us the opportunity to connect with customers as andoo offers customers the opportunity to shop from world-leading home brands and receive free next day delivery, free collection of old products and 24/7 support,” Mr Tindill said.

Troy completed the Youth Training Program (YTP), so it’s all the more special to support the sport that has given him so much and the fact it was recorded at the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron (RNZYS) – the same place where Sir Peter Blake made history.

andoo places a strong emphasis on promoting youth sailing, such as supporting the andoo Australian Challenge, a youth team making waves in the America’s Cup, and their recent support of the Yachting New Zealand Youth Events. They believe in nurturing young talent and helping the next generation of sailors rise through the ranks.

Why this podcast?

“It’s simple. Bird’s Eye View is engaging. Hosts Barbara, recently announced as a ‘Lifetime Olympian’, and Joey are both big names in the New Zealand sailing community and familiar faces from my old home club, Bucklands Beach Yacht Club (BBYC). They bring a fun, relaxed atmosphere to each episode. They don’t just talk about sailing – they tell stories, both old and new, that really engage listeners. Whether it’s historical anecdotes or tales from the water, their style of storytelling takes the sport to a new level and makes it more relatable for all. And it’s great to have host D’Arcy Waldegrave keeping these two in check!” said Troy.

“We started this podcast to tell all the great and genuine stories of sailing in New Zealand and when andoo asked us if we wanted to get involved, the answer was easy. They support sailing not only here in New Zealand through Yachting New Zealand but also in Australia, our two biggest markets,” said Suellen Hurling of Live Sail Die.

The Bird’s Eye View podcast has an exciting guest list including sailors who are as down to earth as they come and andoo is thrilled to be part of the journey. They all celebrate the love of sailing and this podcast is the perfect way to do that. With their support, andoo hopes to keep the spirit of sailing alive, inspire the next generation and continue the legacy of Kiwi success on the water.
