Harken's Competitive J24 Boathandling Video CD

Focusing on the 5 man crew of a J24 this interactive video covers: Starts, Sets, Gybes, Douses, Crew Communication, Crew Positioning… incredible detail!

Wonderful, clear, real on-the-boat video shows, positioning, timing, and movement techniques, coupled with a special "chalk talk" notes that can be printed for future reference. Really Cool.

Great for any spinnaker boat that does end for end Gybes with 3 to 8 crew; from a Masthead J29 to the Santana 20, even Lightning and Flying Scot racers will find great nuggets to take with them to the race course.

Unparalleled attention to detail, offering transcripts to crew communication as it happens as well as "pop-up" Chalk Talk notes that can be printed for further reference.

No special software or operating environment is necessary for this full-size video, runs on a CD-ROM drive!

Harken calls it "J24" Boathandling, we think it would be better named "How to Flow Like a Pro ; racing your boat with a crew of 3 to 8"

Special features to help you analyze each quiz situation and the applicable rules in detail. Included are all of the Racing Rules of Sailing, the definitions and most of the appendices. There are hot links in the text of the quiz answers for every rule or definition mentioned which enable users to open a separate box on the screen referencing the exact wording of the applicable rule or definition. This is much easier than thumbing through the pages of the rule book!
