Catamaran Sailor Magazine's Website

This series on catamaran racing/sailing is the first professionally done "How To" video that we have ever seen. Great job!

Product Description

This is the first of five series of "How to ..." videos from Rick White's Sailing Seminars. This video is designed to get you under total control of your boat. No longer will it control you. Most new sailors just reach back and forth when they sail, but you will learn to:

*Tack/Jibe quickly, effectively & efficiently
*Gain opotimum speed on all points of sail
*Stop on a dime
*Accelerate quickly from a stop
*Use your weight distribution for better speed
*Steer with your sails -- make them work for you
Also you will learn the basic Rules of the Road and about Right-of-Ways in a very simple, easy to understand way. This video is a must!

5.0 out of 5 stars Total Boat Handling, July 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Rick White's Total Boat Handling [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A video of this quality is rare in the world of sailing. Both novice and accomplished multihull sailors will enjoy this professionally done video with it's expert advice and outstanding video coverage under actual sailing conditions. As it coaches the viewer on how to make a catamaran do what he or she wants IT to do, not do what IT wants to do, you'll learn to how to make your cat tack, jibe, stop, start, go fast, or whatever. It is truly a reference source that you will return to over and over again. It would be an excellent primer for a junior sailing school as well. This is the first of six videos in a series-I'm eagerly awaiting the next one.
