On line instructional Links to help our Students Learn

Our colleague Brian Adams uses these links to send to his students so they 
can brush up on ideas, and concepts of sailing. This proves to be a great method of
teaching for a couple of reasons. One they can learn away from the club so when they 
show up they have a broader sense of sailing secondly they learn more and it's fun.


There are a ton of other links to sailing instruction web sites and youtube videos. 
Please seek new ones out and share with us and your students.


When we embrace new approaches and techniques in teaching sailing 
we help foster great learning.  This I believe should be our collective goal.
