Customer Reviews

Worthwhile for beginners4
I bought this DVD after taking a two-day basic sailing course. This DVD is not a substitute for a hands-on course, but it is a good supplement. It filled in some spots that the instructor did not cover and is clearly presented. The heavy weather portion is particularly useful for beginners who have not yet experienced it.

Gave the basics to my kids5
I purchased this DVD to help give my kids (ages 12 and 14) a headstart before going to a sailing school with them. As Bud Foulke points out, you will not be a sailor after viewing this video.

It worked great for my kids. They had the basic vocabulary down. They also understood the basic points of sail. It gave them an elevated level of confidence in being able to learn to sail.

I highly recommend it in preparation for learning to sail. We will be using the DVD as a review before going on our first bareboat trip in a few months.

Every DVD I watch adds to my knowledge3
I admit, I am a sailing junky. So I like to watch everything I can. I learned some good things from this program. But I definitely feel the bit on heavy weather was confusing and a slightly wishy washy. I have the Pardey's Storm tactic DVD and that was definitely more confidence building. For enjoyable reasons to go cruising I like the programs put on by the Shards. But as I said in the beginning. This is worth a watch, especially for real beginners.
