YouTube 'How To' videos

YouTube has a wealth of great material freely available to use to enhance your boat handling abilities. As a start I'm pointing you towards some very well produced shorts by Flexisail, a well established fractional ownership outfit based on the River Hamble near Southampton. I also use RYA material since this provides good complementary information for Competent Crew, Dayskipper and other RYA courses, including one on Springing techniques by James Pearson, Chief Instructor from the Hamble School of Yachting, which guided me through the Offshore and Instructor qualifications some years back!
