"This is the best instructional sailing video I have seen"
– Spencer Smith, Dolphin Book Club.

"An excellent job of covering basic seamanship in this well-produced tape"
– Douglas Logan: Editor, Sailing World.

This is the most complete and detailed instructional videocassette ever made about sailing, from the moment you first climb aboard, to dropping the anchor. While this video deals with a voyage made under sail, many of the techniques demonstrated apply equally to power boaters, 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 THIS CASSETTE:
In the course of a 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 video extremely specific and easy to follow.

Includes:
• Basic navigation and planning a cruise
• Safety at sea
• What to wear
• Sailhandling and sail trim
• Moving around on deck
• Anchoring and docking
• Knots and rope work
• Steering and boathandling
...and much more!

Quick Reference Feature:
Included with this videocassette is a printed Contents List keyed to Section numbers which are continuously displayed on the screen to enable you to refer quickly to specific sections within the video.
