North Sails used to publish some very good materials in conjunction
with something they called "The Fast Course". They also had an
excellent video called "The Shape of Speed". I probably learned more
about sail trim and rig tuning fron those two sources that anywhere
else.

The video was particularly excellent because they would focus the
camera on the draft stripes of the sails while they made adjustments
so you could see the change in real time and learn to appreciate the
elements of a fast shape and what it looked like. Good stuff if you
can find some copies or the up to date equivalent.

That DVD looks good but I like the $14.99 price here better.

I was thinking... the download for $3.99 + $0.25 for the DVD-R

I detest inflated s&h charges. If I let them do that to me at checkout
I'd feel like a chump. If they want $20 for the dvd plus $3.50 s&h
just say so. Don't tell me the dvd is $15 then tack on $8.50 for the
cheapest, slowest shipping. I'll pay more for the darn thing from an
honest, straightforward vendor.

My $.02
