Editorial Reviews

From the Director

These are the only basic sailing videos officially sanctioned by U.S. Sailing and the American Red Cross. Includes valuable sailing drills to make you a better sailor.

Product Description

In Part 2 you will learn the skills and techniques to sail upwind and downwind and how to trim your sails to sail well. You will also learn to judge weather and currents plus how to safely leave shore and return.

One of the most valuable parts of this video is the section on sailing drills. These drills help you to learn to sail better and to sharpen your skills.

We recommend that you learn to sail on the water with a qualified instructor in a US Sailing/Red Cross program. The Start Sailing Right videos will be a valuable adjunct to your on water instruction. Watch them before your course to increase your learning rate when you go out on a boat. Also, you can return to these videos long after your instruction for a refresher course to review sailing technique and safety procedures.

Part 2 Contents: 1) Maneuvering Upwind & Downwind 2) Weather & Currents 3) Sailing Well 4) Leaving & Returning 5) Sailing Drills.
