The North U Cruising Seminar on CD-ROM puts cruising technique in full motion. The combination of animated graphics, photos, and hours of video bring cruising and seamanship topics to life.
The CD covers the full range of sail trim, heavy weather, and safety topics covered in the Nort U seminars. You will see how changes in sail trim change sailing performance, and understand why anchor scope is critical to holding. The CD will put you on board at night, and show how to decipher lights in your path. You’ll be caught in a storm, and see how to sail through it. You’ll learn how to prepare your boat, your crew, and yourself for cruising in safety and comfort.

This CD puts weather in motion - how global, regional and local weather phenomena interact to create the local sailing wind. Understand how and why an approaching front will shift local winds, and what to expect in different positions around a system. Watch as regional gradient weather battles local events for control of surface winds.

Radar can be the most valuable navigational aid on board - if the crew are experienced in setting it up to produce the best display and then interpreting the information correctly. Radar Training Simulator provides highly realistic practice in set-up, collision avoidance and coastal navigation.
