Every maneuver and technique is demonstrated clearly with plenty of close ups and action replays.

Sail handling and sail trim.
Anchoring and docking.

Moving around on deck.
Knots, ropework and much more!

Rating: - Annapolis:Cruising Under Sail - Notice
I have to rank this film a little on the low side.
The film itself contained some pretty pictures of boats and a little usefull knowledge covering multiple topics. However the it appears that no script existed for this film, a fly by the seat of your pants type of operation, make it up as you go and so forth. Combine the lack of script with poor camera angles, lousy audio editing and orange box around the screen, I would classify this as an ameture project.
