A New Version of the Micro Magic Germany YouTube Channel with Improved Videos and English and French Subtitles

Editor's Note:  Our already just great YouTube channel has been markedly improved.  And it even has English and French subtitles! Be sure to take a look, and also to subscribe, so that you can easily find new ones added to the channel.  Again, many thanks to Martin Clemens for all of this work!


Hello friends of the Micro Magic,


About a year ago Marco Hill, as the manager of the German Micro Magic website, and I started a YouTube channel for Micro Magic Germany.  We received positive reactions and I decided to revise the first versions of my videos to use them internationally for the Micro Magic class. This included creating English and French subtitles. 


This has been a long time coming and is now done. The video topics have focused so far on the construction of the New Micro Magic. There are currently seven videos on this.  More around the boat technology will follow. Interesting things, such as 3D printing, rig variations, sail making, etc.


But reports about the class and its scene are just as important to me. Events, developments in the class, activities of the manufacturer, special contributions of sailors, and much more. Anyone who has ideas about this can contact me through the channel. I can respond to messages in English, French, Spanish, and German. 


To make it more personal, the channels label is individual:

“MMSailorMartin”

My concern is to make sailing with Micro Magic more visible in the digital world and in finding new interested people. I would therefore be happy if you would support it by linking the channel on your national websites, getting it out to your members, etc.


Sincerely,


Martin Clemens
