My Boat Works

Hi everyone,
We have been very busy this last year, setting up a new part of My Boat Works, producing and distributing instructional boating movies. These are movies we are making entirely ourselves, in the highest cinema standards, with multiple camera angles, filmed in High Definition and available on Blu-ray as well as regular DVD. We are in full production and as of now (August 2010), have copies of the first movie, Boat Balance for sale!
These movies are fine examples of state-of-the-art visual learning, showing up close and in action, coherent lesson plans and feature boats many can afford that are kept up beautifully. Learning is active, so you see what I’m teaching in action, from the best angle. The shots are beautiful and with the careful scripting and my decades’ experience on the water, repairing and teaching, they are packed with information.
We have chosen subjects that are most needed and least understood. As an example, “Boat Balance” teaches how standing and running rigging controls sail shape. There are very few seasoned sailors who will not learn from this movie and it will transform sailing skills and confidence of the great majority of sailors.
We are selling these movies directly, in the video section of my website and will soon have them available at most boating websites and retail outlets.
The Blu-ray movies have to be seen to be believed! With our superior cinematography and superior post-production, we have made such beautiful movies that they look like first-run movies in a theater! Our DVDs themselves are almost the quality of most Blu-ray movies, with delicate reflections, beautiful water and superb soundtracks, including all original scores.
It’s a pleasure passing my knowledge on, as has been passed on to me, in this delightful format. Stop by my video page and buy one to see for yourself – I bet you’ll be back soon for more!

In a real blow, only commercial fishermen and highly experienced, well-equipped sailors stay put.  Why do so many – Perhaps 90% – Not know how to anchor safely?

In this series of brief articles, I’ll show you how anchors work, why it’s important to make good choices, how to select them and what nonsense to avoid.
