below.
GET READY TO CRUISE
Lin & Larry Pardey
Offshore Sailing - Part One
Join Lin and Larry Pardey at their home base in New
Zealand as they share ideas and hints to make your boat
safer, easier to handle, and more enjoyable to use.
On board Taleisin-the boat that has been their
home for 65,000 miles of voyaging - they demonstrate
galley upgrades, table design ideas, comfortable seating
arrangements, and ways to improve ventilation below
deck. On deck, learn how sail and ground-tackle handling
can be made easier for even the smallest crew member.
Larry discusses sun protection, rain collection, and
line handling. Lin provides advice on buying and storing
provisions and hints for keeping you and your crew dry,
warm, clean, and well rested.
Shot in The Pittwater (north of Sydney, Australia) and
at Fremantle, as well as at their home base in New Zealand
(where they are restoring a 110-year-old racing yacht),
this DVD incorporates the best ideas from their highly
praised videos, including Cruising with Lin and Larry
Pardey and The Care and Feeding of Sailing Crew.
The programs have been re-edited, re-mastered, and supplemented
with new information from these master voyagers, who
now have more than 180,000 miles under their belts -
including a contrary-to-the-wind circumnavigation below
the four great southern capes.
Come along and share in some of the secrets that, even
after forty years afloat, make the Pardeys eager to
keep cruising,"...as long as it's fun."
"More than 50 really useful ideas."
- WoodenBoat magazine
"If more couples worked toward this kind of
equality afloat, boats would break fewer hearts."
- Roger C. Taylor, Sail magazine
"An excellent addition to any sailor's video
library."
- Cruising Helmsman magazine, Australia
GET READY TO CROSS OCEANS
Lin & Larry Pardey
Offshore Sailing - Part Two
So you feel confident with cruising local waters and
are thinking of setting off across an ocean . . .
Before you start planning, join Lin and Larry Pardey
on board Taleisin in Fremantle, Australia, as
they demonstrate gear storage for offshore voyaging,
dinghy choices, warping out a stern anchor, proper life-raft
storage, storm trysails, sail repairs, and other valuable
hints to help you prepare. Then voyage along with them
on a classic trade-wind passage across the Indian Ocean
toward Africa, with stops at Cocos (Keeling) Atoll,
the quiet island of Rodriques, and the remote French
colony at Réunion. Weather planning, landfall
considerations, windvanes, sail choices, and crew comfort
are only a few of the subjects covered.
Shot in Fremantle, Australia; at sea during their Indian
Ocean passage; near their home in New Zealand; and on
board 110-year-old Thelma, the classic racing yacht
they are restoring, this DVD incorporates the best ideas
from some of their highly praised videos: Voyaging,
Hints for Upgrading Your Cruising Boat, and Cruising
Coral Seas. Completely re-edited and re-mastered,
this program is supplemented with new information and
ideas from these master voyagers, who now have more
than 180,000 miles under their belts, including a contrary-to-the-wind
circumnavigation below the four great southern capes.
Join the Pardeys and learn some of the secrets that,
even after forty years afloat, make them eager to keep
cruising, ". . . as long as it's fun."
"A must for anyone cruising or planning to
cruise warm waters."
- Gail Anderson, Sail magazine
"Not a once-off, but one to keep . . . for there
is much to be learned, even in paradise."
- Neil Rusch, South African Yachting
"This is the voice of experience speaking. People
will not buy this program to be caught up in the scenery;
it is about useful information, and there is no shortage
of that."
- Robert Keeley, Cruising Helmsman magazine,
Australia
