Westwind is a young adult television action drama on the NBC Saturday morning line up. The show chronicled the adventures of the Andrews family as they sailed the ocean on their yacht. Westwind ran from the fall of 1975 through the spring of 1976 from 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., Eastern Standard Time. It ran for one season with a total of 13 episodes produced.
Westwind is a musical project from the French post-industrial scene, created by Kris G (pseudonym of Christophe Gales). It mixes influences from musics such as Martial industrial, Post-industrial, Dark ambient, Neofolk and Neoclassical music.
Westwind started in 1999 by releasing self-produced and handmade CDR on its own label Black Sun Rising, which was dissolved in 2002 to leave the place to the new label Steelwork Maschine in 2003, that he creates with Serge Usson of the bands Neon Rain and Storm Of Capricorn.
Westwind is a 1990 novel written by Ian Rankin, and is one of the author's earliest works. The author has explained on his website that he was not happy with the outcome and unlike other early works by Rankin, it has not been reissued.
