Editorial Review: Product Description: Sailing With Confidence A great new learn to sail program designed to give those with little or no sailing experience the knowledge and skills needed to sail with confidence. Expert instructor Bud Foulke covers the basics of "getting started," intermediate "helmsmanship and maneuvers" and advanced "heavy weather sailing and flying spinnakers." 90 min. Average Rating:
 Rating: - I liked it.But the production could have been better. The on screen graphics need to be better color enhanced, and the knot making done with a graphic also. Overall, I think this is a good training lecture for all Sailors. Rating:  - Every DVD I watch adds to my knowledgeI 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.

But while Bob Ross and his trees are amusing and educational, this one is neither. In fact it is quite confusing and busy piece of work. The shortcomings are many, and you will most definetely capsize should you follow the advice on how to jibe in heavy weather. In fact they filmed people capsizing, presumably following that very advice. The ... Read More Rating: - Worthwhile for beginnersI 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. |
