Sailing Support Videos

The videos below will help you to understand the fundamental skills required as you learn to sail, including on-board footage and animations to explain what's happening. 

These videos are aimed to support your knowledge whilst you learn to sail on a suitable practical course.  

This 'sailing skills' playlist covers the basics that you're likely to cover as you start learning to sail. I've gone a little more into detail with some of the 'basic' skills though, so you might find them useful even if you've been sailing for a while. Feel free to keep coming back to digest the information, there's a lot to take in as you first get started.
