can choose your view angle to analyze the sailing technique of the best
sailors on A- class, tornado, Formula 18....
with 3D images, interviews of Mitch Booth, Darren Bundock, Glenn Ashby,
Gavin Colby...
there is something available on ebay at this address....

Have you had a chance to view it .If so what are your thoughts.Is it applicable to all cat designs or just boat specific,i.e tonado, F-18,A-cat.

I am interested in the DVD, but just to be cynical, the seller is the same person who made the first post. Anyone else here seen this?

I am also interested and noticed noticed the same. I also noticed that they only have "feedback" from one ebay user. Not a lot of feedback considering the cost.

Does that make me cynical as well?

No it makes you observant, just like me. Maybe if He ? could put up some examples on HIS web site so we could take a look....

Looks like it is advertised on the French A Class web site too..... Looks legit.

Of course, i'm the seller and the announcer and i dont try to mask it. I 've been working on this DVD during three years and i'm quite proud of the job... i had contact with really nice people.., Glenn Asby, M.Booth, D. bundock have been wonderfull. It was really a pleasure to realize this dvd and i hope it will be a pleausure for you to use it. We started to sell it in europe since one week...It's the very beginning, and we do not have yet an international distributor, that's why we had the idea to use e bay...You can download little parts of the dvd here : http://tillard.georges1.free.fr/videos/

Correct !

It seems well done, but the second clip I looked at (Gavin Colby)the commentator talks about raising the dagger-boards at the leeward mark, even though you do see the crew lowering them. Maybe the English version should be checked over

I know expressed some initial doubt...but I took the plunge and bought it one from Ebay.

I'll let everyone know how it turns out.

Bill

I bought a copy to.Also will let you know how it is

I bought one copy and it arrived today!!
It seams to be a good DVD!I like the multi-angle shoots. For somebody like me that is almost a beginner it is a very good source for improvement. I hope that there are more dvd´s like this.
Later!

Enjoy the Azores winds....

It is worth every Euro.

A shot load of on the water footage with a professional steady cam.

Nice interviews with a few big names in cat sailing and it lays a good foundation to improve your sailing skills on.

It is the best thing since Rick White's sailing for the 90's if you are a novice or intermediate sailor.

For the good sailors aout there (and that means only 20 % of all sailors) this allow you to steal some tricks of the Ashby's, Booth's, Bundock's, Anderson's, Boulogne's out there. Afo course the further you are already the harder it is to find new stuff that benefits you however this DVD does a good job of that. And of course at a certainly level you can only learn from yourself and having a coach. It shows that as well on the DVD and so gives in my opinion a very good picture of cat sailing from novice to professional sailor.

I have absoutely no regrest I bought the DVD. And for all sailors without good fleets nearby to learn from I think this DVD is a must-have next to Rick's sailing for the 90's. Mind you I have some alternatives views here an there but these points are only personal, particular design related and way beyond what you need to know as a novice and internmediate sailors. Actually the DVD underlines at several instances that methods and sailing modes can and do differ between crews and designs and that you should find what suits you and your design bests. It gives good ways to start and later find you own personal preference.

The DVD focusses on Tornado, F18, A-cat and KL 15.5 sailing. But very much in a general sense. Meaning the KL 15.5 stuff is completely general and can be easily transposed on any other design. So too for much of the other boats although you'll learns as wel from the differences between A's and F18's.

The DVD also put a very large focus on spinnaker sailing which I think is good.

I watched the DVD for 3 hours today and still haven't seen all or accessed all topics.

Comes in a nice package

I'm very impressed !

Wouter
