North U has software

I got their whole set of software and books... kind of expensive.The software uses CD roms... not video.Pretty good stuff if you are dedicated to plowing through it, but not super esy to understand without some experience... also kind of boring.My #1 recommendation is to sign up for netflix and search for all videos related to sailing.Steve Colgate has a very good video abpout basic sailing, and there are a bunch of others of just basic tips that are okay but not great.
