I´m intrested in buying a instructional vhs or dvd? I could buy one on
www.catsailor.com, but the problem is that the freight to Sweden is as expensive as the vhs..
Ideas anyone?

No ideas but a cautionary word.
Pal vs NTSC
DVD area settings.
Watch out for format complications.

Try to get hold of the "The Catamaran Sailing Dvd", which is from France I think, although it´s not H16 specific.

A copy of the catamaran DVD is for sale on ebay right now. Apparently it works in all regions and so might be an idea - though an original copy is expensive. A VHS tape does have to be first converted to PAL to work over there. I have a tape and access to having it converted, but the last time I had it done it cost me $20 Cdn. I can check into shipping costs, but either way it looks to be an expensive idea. Let me know if you are serious.

Our PAL version VHS tapes are $39.95 and shipping by USPS Global Priority is $9.50 (not too bad) If insured it can be a bit more, but that does guarantee deliver and it can be tracked.
Using just Priority we have had some lost or stolen orders when shipping foreign.
Our videos are truly teaching videos straight from my Sailing Seminars clinics.
