I'm looking to pick up sailing again..been a while and am looking for Sailing instruction on a CDrom or DVD. Kind of interactive with quizzes and digital video. I would like to use this to refresh myself for classes I am planning on taking this summer..Any one know of anything? Thanks and Happy Sailing!

I don't know about software or why it would be preferable over a book, but Don Guillette's book 'Sail Trim' that's available on this web site in the Chandlery is the best sailing instruction info that I've seen.

online sailing course...

Here's something to get you started. It's the online sailing course at the US Sailing website. There are animations etc. and it's free! http://www.cruising.sailingcourse.com/ I have a video sailing game, Sail 2000,that has video clips of various racing components such as the start, jibing, tacking, spinnaker sets, etc. The game itself is okay, mostly strategy. But I think you'd get more out the Annapolis series of videos. You might check the various marine catalogues or Amazon.com... Besides the Annapolis video series I have the videos ...Sail Trim, Shape of Speed, Spinnaker sailing, etc. all are really good. North Sails has a school that offers a companion CD-ROM to its textbook... No experience with it though.

I have a Learn to Sail CD/DVD that really helped me get started. It has tons of digital video and animation and I found the quizzes very helpful. Hope this helps!

I took either US or ASA online. And I studied my books like hell for months. I had no prior experience. I now have my bareboat certificate. I'm ready to charter someone else's boat*yks. gene
