Good overview of sailing a keel boat. The Picture clarity is fair.
A mixed bag. My wife and I wanted to get some idea of what we'd be getting into if we took intro sailing lessons, and we accomplished that. As an instructional video, this has some problems. It seems to be a nearly linear shoot of the high points of an intro sailing course, not really thought through with the video medium in mind. Maybe par for the course when it was shot, but certainly not current state-of-the-art. This may be a little bit harsh since there's going to be limits on any sort of electronic medium that's trying to substitute for experiencing water and wind. Amateur chessecake efforts are also good for a few laughs.
