Sailing experts Lin and Larry Pardey have created three outstanding instructional videos ($29.95 each) that are particularly recommended to the attention of novice sailors whether they are planning for a weekend vacation excursion along the coast or an extended venture across the open sea. Voyaging With Lin & Larry Pardey is a 54 minute, full color video that takes the viewer aboard their 29-foot, 6-inch cutter, Taleisin, which the Pardey's built from scratch. From features to look for in a dinghy, to kedging off with an anchor, to stowing an outboard, to rigging a story trysail, this informative video is paced with sound advice enabling even the most novice sailor to make a successful and stress-free voyage. Cruising With Lin & Larry Pardey is a 56-minute full color video compendium of constructive advice and time-tested tips on fitting out a cruising vessel covering everything from access lockers under transom seats, to stowing a sextant safely, to the value of an onboard bathtub. In Cruising Coral Seas, the Pardy's provide 45 minutes of tips for cruising in the tropics and the trades with a special focus on provisioning planning, weather strategies, downwind sail handling and control, landfall tactics, dealing with customs, and so much more. All-in-all, these three expertly produced instructional videos are informed, informative, and highly recommended viewing for anyone wanting a safe, secure, memorable, and successful nautical adventure!
