Cheap - Daysailors: Sailing & Racing (The Annapolis Book of Seamanship, Vol. 5)

admin — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 10:06:01 +0000

Daysailors: Sailing & Racing (The Annapolis Book of Seamanship, Vol. 5) The Annapolis Book Of Seamanship DVD Daysailers Sailing and Racing In this program, you will learn how to sail and enjoy the most popular of all sailboats - the keel daysailers and small keel sailing boats. Beginning with hull design, this program covers getting underway, boat handling and includes an introduction to the sport of sailboat racing. This program is packed with information including detailed close-ups, helpful graphics and a strong emphasis on safety. Subjects covered include: Steering. Tacking and Jibing. How to shape the sails. Life jacket type and use. Crew organization. The spinnaker. Essential racing skills. Navigation rules. Man overboard rescue. 75 min.
Customer Review: Somewhat useful
Slow moving, sometimes boring sailing DVD that is confused at what is the intended audience. Some parts are really useful, for example the explanation (and demonstration) of sail shapes is brilliant.

Some other parts leave one wondering at who exactly this DVD is targeted to? People who don’t know how to tie a bowline should’t be watching a program that goes to such great lengths explaining how to fly and jibe a spinnaker.

Depending on your skill you will use the skip button often; if you are a novice it is very likely that you will fast forward through racing and some technical parts, if you have been on the water once or twice it is very likely you will skip the timeless advice of putting the sun screen to protect thy nose.

As with the other DVD’s in the Annapolis series the footage is relevant, the things are explained well, to the point of actually throwing people overboard not once but twice to illustrate the pickup maneuveres.John Rousmaniere is the author, narrator and the mastermind behind the series; among other things he does have a sailing geek appeal which makes watching the slow parts almost tolerable.
Customer Review: Poor audio quality.
This information packed DVD could have been much better if it had a better audio quality (neccessary to grab unfamilier sailing terms) and a detailed index.

GPS: Usability Over Functionality

admin — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 10:01:29 +0000

There is an easy test that I like to use when evaluating a GPS, or any type of electronic device. I call it the user manual test. When I pick up a new GPS for the first time, I see how easily I can operate the GPS with common sense alone and without using the manual. Criteria for a good GPS is firmly based on how easily I can operate the menu options and pick up the functions. This is an aspect that some people overlook yet it is perhaps the single most important part of a GPS.

The first reason that user friendly functions and menus are so important is that the vast majority of people who buy GPS units are seasonal or occasional users. They are not out there 5 days a week, honing their skills and keeping the idiosyncrasies of their GPS at the forefront of their mind! Consequently, most users want to be able to pick the damn thing up and be able to get their hands on accurate information that can make the difference between getting lost, or even a fatal ending to an outdoor adventure.

The second reason that GPS units need to be easy to use is that they are often used by groups such as hunters, fishermen and hikers. This makes it quite likely that some members of the group will not be experienced with your particular model or brand of GPS. In these kinds of circumstances it is doubtful that anyone will want to sit down and read a user manual, that is if you still know where it is! So do yourself a favor and get a GPS that makes sense to you without having to go to the book, if for nothing else that from a safety point of view.

The third reason it that if you are willing to spend a couple of bucks on your GPS and choose a top brand such as Magellan or Garmin you don?t need to worry too much about what functions are included. The level of competition between these two companies is so high that neither is willing to put sub-standard products into the marketplace. At http://www.thegpscentre.com you can see reviews of GPS units and see how close these brand really are in both quality and price. What will make the difference will be the users ability to take advantage of the functions.

Remember, there is no point having a GPS with several navigation screens, thousands of automatic way-points if you can?t work out how to use them with ease. Happy trails and safe navigating to you all.
