Basic sailing Instruction, June 20, 2008

This is an excellent DVD for learning an overview of sailing, the terminology, and the concepts of how a boat reacts to wind direction. All of the mechanics of actually operating a sailboat are first explained in a classroam setting and then demonstrated out on the water. I particularily liked the fact that Gary does his instruction single handed so you can see how one person can raise the sails, and go through all of the steps of sailing and operating the boat when alone. All of the key maneuvers such as tacking, gybing, etc. are demonstrated several times to reinforce each point. Most of the video is on the water footage. I have viewed two other basic sailing DVDs and this is by far the best and most recently produced (2008) If you watch this before starting your sailing lessons, it will be much easier to learn because you will know what to expect.
