FORGET THE BOOKS, VIDEOS; LEARN TO SAIL WITH A PC! So you want to learn to Sail? Congratulations! You have a wonderful new world to discover. You now may be wondering where to start or what is the best way to do this. For me, I found it to be a combination of study and hands on experience. Studying before hand gave me the knowledge I needed to get the most out of my hands on lessons. To know the sailing terms, maneuvers and wind theory enabled me to feel more at ease when I took the tiller.
I had bought several books on sailing and sailing related topics. Before I knew it I had 30lbs of books! and a $250 hole in my wallet! And sailing away I went! You may be wondering what I mean by sailing related topics. There is the fun world of Knot Tying, Weather, Navigation, and knowing the Rules of the Road is essential!
After a break of several years, being busy with other things (like learning software programming), I found it great to review what I had studied before I climbed aboard again. But as I went through my big pile of books, looking at still pictures and trying to find the videos I had bought, I started to think how great it would be to combine all these things onto one small CDROM! What a money saver and convenience that would be for someone! So I went to work and after almost 2 years, Learn to Sail! with Multimedia! was completed.

Best to you, Sailor Cull _/)_
