vidio of race/sailing tactics

[blt2ski]

Is there any place to buy or rent vidio's of race tactics per say. Preferbaly the start. I've recently started racing my Jeanneau, but spouse, ie tiller person is a green horn, kids also green horns racing and sailing, then there is me, with racing/sailing 20+ yrs ago with layoff in the middle. Books do not help spouse, nor do diagrams on paper. This is why I am wondering if there are vidio type lessons availible somewhere?

Next will be sending her off for a week of lessons somewhere away from me! 25 yrs of teaching snow ski lessons, I have learned, DO NOT TEACH SPOUSE! kids yes, spouse is grounds for one of us walking the plank!

Went to July 4 BBQ where this was a topic of discussion. Look up North U sailing seminars and see if they have something suitable. It would also seem that Dave Perry is working on a video about match racing tactics, but it isn't ready yet. (They were filming earlier this week.)

Contact JWorld. Racing is their business and I think they have exactly what you're looking for. I took their course and bought a couple of their videos. Both are excellent.

I've been brushing up on the basics of starting tactics with Posey Yacht Design's Tactics simulator. I downloaded the demo which only runs for the first portion of the race. Good thing I'm only wanting to practice the start. the demo is free. download here:

(I find it useful, but your mileage may vary. It seems accurate, since it has me pretty much sucking at the starting tactics. lol)
