5.0 out of 5 stars Very well done., February 24, 2006

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tuning Your Rig (DVD version) (DVD)
Toss is a great teacher, very calm, articulate, and methodical. His "bungie rig" (visual teaching aid) is excellent, and demonstrates how the rigging works and that the mast and rigging are a system, not just separate wires to be tensioned. Step-by-step he takes the viewer through the tuning of of several rigs and explains not only what to do but what not to do to tune a rig. He demonstrates how to hear the wire tention, feel the wire tention, and to use mechanical guage's to measure the tention of a wire. The DVD covers a static(dockside,no load) and dynamic(on the water, loaded)tuning. The goal being to get the whole system working together to maximise, boat speed, performance, and safety. Very well done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic How-To, July 9, 2005
This review is from: Tuning Your Rig (DVD version) (DVD)
This video explains the science and the art behind tuning your sailboats rigging. Of course, I had to watch it 20 times before attempting to tune my boat. In fact, I'm ordering the DVD version to replace my worn out VHS version.
