Sail Fast... Sail Smart!

HARKEN Competitive 420 Boathandling Video CD-Rom

North Sails has partnered with Harken and Musto to develop a 420 Boathandling Video CD-Rom - a video catalog of techniques for effective boathandling in competition for both the Club and the Collegiate 420.

Chapters include: Control, Tacking, Gybing, Windward Marks, Leeward Marks and a special chapter on the Club 420.

 

Here's what Greg Fisher has to say about the Video-CD: "Competitve 420 Boathandling is the latest addition in the Harken/North Sails series of instructional CD Rom videos. Like the J/22 and J/24 videos previously produced,Will Crump has done an outstanding job in providing excellent footage of the experts pulling off high quality boat handling moves. Although this CD is labled "420" it is an excellent instructional piece for any 2 person boat. Whether you sail a Snipe, Windmill, Jet 14, Vanguard 15, JY 15, Comet, etc... you'll be sure to learn a great deal from this perfect training vehicle. And of course, for the serious Club 420 racer there's even a section dedicated to the techniques in making your boat sail the fastest! Don't miss this one...there's so much that everyone will learn from all the pearls included in shot after shot! "

Here's a comment from a customer that bought the CD: "Greg, I just wanted to write a quick note regarding the 420 CD that you narrated. I bought I last year to help Angie and I get up to speed in our V15. It really has helped. Yesterday, we had a V15 Training Day at Catawba Yacht Club. We did 2 hours on the water, then the video at Lunch, then two more hours of races and practice starts. I think the entire fleet got something from the video. Although, it was a 420 that you were teaching on, It really helps prove the dynamics on the v15 as well. Anyway, It's a great tool and we will get a lot of use from it. Thank you".... Bill Wiggins
