"This is the best instructional sailing program we have seen." - Dolphin Book Club.
"An excellent job of covering basic seamanship in this program" - Sailing World.
This is the most complete and detailed instructional DVD ever made about sailing, from the moment you first climb aboard, to dropping anchor. While this program deals with a voyage made under sail, many of the techniques demonstrated apply equally to powerboaters, to whom seamanship and navigation skills are as important as to the sailor. Every maneuver and technique is demonstrated clearly with plenty of close ups and action replays.
In the course of coastal passage with two friends, John Rousmaniere demonstrates navigation, sailing and seamanship skills in a clear, easy to follow way. Detailed explanations, action replays and close up photography all combine to make this program extremely specific and easy to follow.
Subjects include:
Basic navigation & planning a cruise.
Sail handling and trim.
Anchoring & docking.
Steering & boat handling.
Safety at sea.
What to wear.
Moving around on deck.
Knots & rope work.
And much more!
