Are You Ready to Gain "the Edge"
in Sailing Safety Worldwide?


Make Fast Sailing Passages
Whether you sail across a river, bay or ocean, being able to sail faster means that you and your crew have less exposure to heavy weather and rough seas. And that means safer sailing for your sailing crew and less strain on your boat, her sails, and sailing rigging. Discover how the pros achieve perfect sail trim with a mainsheet, traveler, boom vang, outhaul, halyards, Cunningham, stays and shrouds, telltales, sheet blocks, and preventers to turn a slow boat into a blazing fast stallion on steroids!


Tie the Best Sailing Knots
Tired of being overwhelmed with a zillion knots that make no sense and too many confusing steps to understand? Sailing safety means knowing how to choose the safest, most secure knot for the sailing task at hand! And knowing how to tie it fast, smooth, safe, and secure. This includes knots for sails, reefing, docking, anchoring, lashing, splicing, whipping, coiling, going aloft, hanging sailing gear, and emergencies like man overboard, fouled anchor retrieval, towing, or pulling yourself off a shoal after grounding. 

Master the Art of Navigation
Unlock the secrets of GPS, navigate your boat in thick fog with radar and discover how easy paper chart navigation can really be. Did you realize that it takes just one single spark to ZAP your black box navigation! Every sailing skipper needs a backup plan that will work when things go wrong--and that's where traditional navigation methods rise to the occasion! Forget the complicated textbooks. Learn how to read a chart, use plotting tools, and sail across the Gulf Stream or any other ocean current. 

Learn "Tough-Weather" Tactics
No sailor likes being caught out in tough weather, but the fact is, you need to know how to deal with it when it arrives. Learn the signals that warn of heavy weather that give you the edge of early, decisive action so that when it arrives--you and your boat are prepped and ready! You will learn what it takes to become an expert in little-known heavy weather tactics like feathering, reefing, and balance that will reduce heeling, give you dryer decks, "fingertip" steering control, and greater crew comfort.
